Proverbs 12:14-19
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 12

14A person will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words, And the deeds of a person’s hands will return to him. 15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a person who listens to advice is wise. 16A fool’s anger is known at once, But a prudent person conceals dishonor. 17One who declares truth tells what is right, But a false witness, deceit. 18There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, But the tongue of the wise brings healing. 19Truthful lips will endure forever, But a lying tongue is only for a moment.
King James Version

Chapter 12

14A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
16A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
17He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
18There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
19The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
