Proverbs 17:20

American King James Version (1999)

He that has a fraudulent heart finds no good: and he that has a perverse tongue falls into mischief.

See the chapter Copy

With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the fraudulent you will show yourself devious.

He that winks with the eye causes sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall.

Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.

The mouth of the just brings forth wisdom: but the fraudulent tongue shall be cut out.

For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

For the fraudulent is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the fraudulent mouth, do I hate.

The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
