Mtu mwenye moyo mpotovu hawezi kufanikiwa; naye ambaye ulimi wake ni mdanganyifu huanguka kwenye taabu.

Proverbs 17:20 · Berean Standard Bible
The one with a perverse heart finds no good, and he whose tongue is deceitful falls into trouble.
Context
18Mtu mjinga hupana mkono ili kuweka rehani,
naye huweka dhamana kwa jirani yake. 19Yeye apendaye ugomvi apenda dhambi;
naye ainuaye sana lango lake* hutafuta uharibifu. 20Mtu mwenye moyo mpotovu hawezi kufanikiwa;
naye ambaye ulimi wake ni mdanganyifu huanguka kwenye taabu. 21Kuwa na mwana mpumbavu huleta huzuni;
hakuna furaha kwa baba wa mpumbavu. 22Moyo wenye furaha ni dawa nzuri,
bali roho iliyopondeka hukausha mifupa.
