Proverbs 12:19
King James Version
“The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue but for a moment.”
Context
16A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent covereth shame.
17speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
18There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise health.
19The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue but for a moment.
20Deceit in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace joy.
21There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22Lying lips abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly his delight.
