American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes;But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
A fool's vexation is {Or, openly Hebrew: in the day.}presently known;But a prudent man concealeth shame.
He that {Hebrew: breatheth out.}uttereth truth showeth forth righteousness;But a false witness, deceit.
There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword;But the tongue of the wise is health.
The lip of truth shall be established for ever;But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil;But to the counsellors of peace is joy.
There shall no mischief happen to the righteous;But the wicked shall be filled with evil.
Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah;But they that deal truly are his delight.
