Proverbs 12:17

15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel.

16 A fool’s anger is known at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.

He who speaks the truth declares what is right, but a false witness speaks deceit.

18 Speaking rashly is like a piercing sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

19 Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
