HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY PROVERBS 12:17-23

Proverbs 12:17-23 He who speaks truth declares righteousness, But a false witness, deceit. There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health. The truthful lip shall be established forever, But a lying tongue is but for a moment. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, But counselors of peace have joy. No grave trouble will overtake the righteous, But the wicked shall be filled with evil. Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal truthfully are His delight. A prudent man conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.

Proverbs 12:17-23 What the wise man proclaims: righteousness What the liar hides: deceit Contrast effect on men: hurt vs. health Contrast of duration: forever vs. a moment Contrast of hearts: evil vs. peace Contrast of consequences: no trouble vs. evil Contrast effect on God: abomination vs. delight What the wise man hides: knowledge What fools proclaim: foolishness
