Proverbs 12:17-21 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

17. He that speaketh that which he knoweth, sheweth forth justice: but he that lieth, is a deceitful witness.

18. There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.

19. The lip of truth shall be steadfast for ever: but he that is a hasty witness, frameth a lying tongue.

20. Deceit is in the heart of them that think evil things: but joy followeth them that take counsels of peace.

21. Whatsoever shall befall the just man, it shall not make him sad: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
