Proverbs 12:14-19 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

14. By the fruit of his mouth a man will be satisfied with good. The work of a man’s hands will reward him.

15. A fool’s way is right in his own eyes, but the wise listen to advice.

16. A fool shows his irritation immediately, but a prudent person overlooks an insult.

17. A trustworthy witness tells what is right, but a false witness, deceit.

18. Reckless speech is like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

19. Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue for only a moment.
