Proverbs 12:14-18 Modern English Version (MEV)

14. A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth,and the recompense of a man’s hands will be rendered to him.

15. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,but he who listens to counsel is wise.

16. A fool’s wrath is presently known,but a prudent man covers shame.

17. He who speaks truth shows forth righteousness,but a false witness deceit.

18. There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,but the tongue of the wise is health.
