16. A fool’s wrath is known at once,But a prudent man covers shame.
17. He who speaks truth declares righteousness,But a false witness, deceit.
18. There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword,But the tongue of the wise promotes health.
19. The truthful lip shall be established forever,But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,But counselors of peace have joy.
