Proverbs 12:18-27
The words of thoughtless people cut like swords.
But the tongue of wise people brings healing.
Truthful words last forever.
But lies last for only a moment.
There are lies in the hearts of those who plan evil.
But there is joy for those who work to bring peace.
No harm comes to godly people.
But sinners have all the trouble they can handle.
The Lord hates those whose lips tell lies.
But he is pleased with people who tell the truth.
Wise people keep their knowledge to themselves.
But the hearts of foolish people shout foolish things.
Hands that work hard will rule.
But people who are lazy will be forced to work.
Worry makes the heart heavy.
But a kind word cheers it up.
Godly people are careful about the friends they choose.
But the way of sinners leads them down the wrong path.
Lazy people do not even cook what they catch.
But those who work hard eat their fill of what is hunted.
