Proverbs 10:18-20
New International Reader's Version
18 Anyone who hides hatred with lying lips
and spreads lies is foolish.
19 Sin is not ended by using many words.
But those who are wise control their tongues.
20 The tongues of those who do right are like fine silver.
But the hearts of those who do wrong aren’t worth very much.
Proverbs 10:18-20
New International Version
18 Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips(A)
and spreads slander is a fool.
19 Sin is not ended by multiplying words,
but the prudent hold their tongues.(B)
20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver,
but the heart of the wicked is of little value.
