Proverbs 12:19 in Context — Proverbs 12
17 Aquele que fala a verdade conta a justiça; porém a testemunha falsa [conta] o engano.
18 Há [alguns] que falam [palavras] como que golpes de espada; porém a língua do sábios é [como] um remédio.
19 O lábio da verdade ficará para sempre, mas a língua da falsidade [dura] por [apenas] um momento.
20 [Há] engano no coração dos que tramam o mal; mas os que aconselham a paz [têm] alegria.
21 Nenhuma adversidade sobrevirá ao justos; mas os perversos se encherão de mal.
