“Lying lips [are] an abomination to YHWH, || And steadfast doers [are] his delight.”— Proverbs 12:22 (LSV)
19The lip of truth is established forever, || And a tongue of falsehood for a moment.
20Deceit [is] in the heart of those devising evil, || But for counselors of peace—joy.
21No iniquity is desired by the righteous, || And the wicked have been full of evil.
22Lying lips [are] an abomination to YHWH, || And steadfast doers [are] his delight.
23A prudent man is concealing knowledge, || And the heart of fools proclaims folly.
24The hand of the diligent rules, || And slothfulness becomes tributary.
25Sorrow in the heart of a man bows down, || And a good word makes him glad.
