Proverbs 21:28-30

The Message

²⁸A lying witness is unconvincing;
a person who speaks truth is respected.

²⁹Unscrupulous people fake it a lot;
honest people are sure of their steps.

³⁰Nothing clever, nothing conceived, nothing contrived,
can get the better of God.

Proverbs 21:28-30

but the upright give thought to their ways.^(C)

that can succeed against the Lord.^(E)
