Proverbs 12:18 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Maneno ya kipumbavu huchoma kama upanga, bali ulimi wa mwenye hekima huleta uponyaji.
Proverbs 12:18 in English
Proverbs 12:18 · Berean Standard Bible
Speaking rashly is like a piercing sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Context
16Mpumbavu huonyesha kuudhika kwake mara moja,
bali mtu wa busara hupuuza matukano. 17Shahidi wa kweli hutoa ushuhuda wa kuaminika,
bali shahidi wa uongo husema uongo. 18Maneno ya kipumbavu huchoma kama upanga,
bali ulimi wa mwenye hekima huleta uponyaji. 19Midomo isemayo kweli hudumu milele,
bali ulimi wa uongo hudumu kwa muda mfupi tu. 20Upo udanganyifu katika mioyo
ya wale ambao hupanga mabaya,
bali kuna furaha kwa wale wanaoleta amani.
