Proverbs 12:17
Berean Standard Bible
He who speaks the truth declares what is right, but a false witness speaks deceit.
Context
15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
but a wise man listens to counsel. 16A fool’s anger is known at once,
but a prudent man overlooks an insult. 17He who speaks the truth declares what is right,
but a false witness speaks deceit. 18Speaking rashly is like a piercing sword,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing. 19Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
