Proverbs 17:20

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

The perverse of heart shall not find good: and he turning about with his tongue shall fall into evil.

See the chapter Copy

The mouth of the just one shall germinate wisdom: and the tongue of perverseness shall be cut off.

The wise shall hide knowledge: and the mouth of the foolish drew near destruction.

He pinching the eye shall give pain: and the foolish of lips shall fall.

The fear of Jehovah hates evil: pride and haughtiness, and the evil way, and the mouth of perverseness I hated.

For the perverse is an abomination of Jehovah: and his intercourse with the upright

With the purified thou wilt be purified, and with the perverse thou wilt show thyself perverse

The words of the wise one's mouth, grace; and the lips of the foolish one shall swallow him down.

For there shall be no latter state to the evil one: the light of the unjust shall be extinguished.
