Proverbs 12:19-28

Proverbs 12:19-28

[19] The lip  of truth  shall be established  for ever:  but a lying  tongue  [20] Deceit  is in the heart  of them that imagine  evil:  but to the counsellors  of peace  is joy.  [21] There shall no evil  happen  to the just:  but the wicked  shall be filled  with mischief.  [22] Lying  lips  are abomination  to the LORD:  but they that deal  truly  are his delight.  [23] A prudent  man  concealeth  knowledge:  but the heart  of fools  proclaimeth  foolishness.  [24] The hand  of the diligent  shall bear rule:  but the slothful  shall be under tribute.  [25] Heaviness  in the heart  of man  maketh it stoop:  but a good  word  maketh it glad.  [26] The righteous  is more excellent  than his neighbour:  but the way  of the wicked  seduceth  [27] The slothful  man roasteth  not that which he took in hunting:  but the substance  of a diligent  man  is precious.  [28] In the way  of righteousness  is life;  and in the pathway  thereof there is no death.
