Proverbs 12:16-18

Revised Standard Version

¹⁶ The vexation of a fool is known at once,
    but the prudent man ignores an insult.
¹⁷ He who speaks the truth gives honest evidence,
    but a false witness utters deceit.
¹⁸ There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts,
    but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
