יֵשׁ בּוֹטֶה כְּמַדְקְרוֹת חָרֶב וּלְשׁוֹן חֲכָמִים מַרְפֵּֽא
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.
שְֽׂפַת־אֱמֶת תִּכּוֹן לָעַד וְעַד־אַרְגִּיעָה לְשׁוֹן שָֽׁקֶר
The lip of truth shall be established for ever; But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
מִרְמָה בְּלֶב־חֹרְשֵׁי רָע וּֽלְיֹעֲצֵי שָׁלוֹם שִׂמְחָֽה
Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; But to the counsellors of peace is joy.
לֹא־יְאֻנֶּה לַצַּדִּיק כָּל־אָוֶן וּרְשָׁעִים מָלְאוּ רָֽע
There shall no mischief befall the righteous; But the wicked are filled with evil.
תּוֹעֲבַת יְהוָה שִׂפְתֵי־שָׁקֶר וְעֹשֵׂי אֱמוּנָה רְצוֹנֽוֹ
Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD; But they that deal truly are His delight. .
