- A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.
- A truthful witness gives honest testimony, but a false witness tells lies.
- Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
- Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
- There is deceit in the hearts of those who plot evil, but joy for those who promote peace.

- A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
- He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
- There is that speaketh 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 imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
