Proverbs 12:13-18 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

13. An evil man is trapped by his rebellious speech, but a righteous one escapes from trouble.

14. A man will be satisfied with goodby the words of his mouth, and the work of a man’s hands will reward him.

15. A fool’s way is right in his own eyes, but whoever listens to counsel is wise.

16. A fool’s displeasure is known at once,but whoever ignores an insult is sensible.

17. Whoever speaks the truth declares what is right,but a false witness, deceit.

18. There is one who speaks rashly,like a piercing sword; but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
