Proverbs 17:20

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

He that is of a perverse heart, shall not find good: and he that perverteth his tongue, shall fall into evil.

See the chapter Copy

The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom: the tongue of the perverse shall perish.

Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the fool is next to confusion.

He that winketh with the eye shall cause sorrow: and the foolish in lips shall be beaten.

The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.

For every mocker is an abomination to the Lord, and his communication is with the simple.

The words of the mouth of a wise man are grace: but the lips of a fool shall throw him down headlong.

For evil men have no hope of things to come, and the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
