² One who ^(A)walks with integrity, practices righteousness,
And ^(B)speaks truth in his heart.

¹⁷ One who declares truth tells what is right,
But a false witness, deceit.
¹⁸ There is one who ^(A)speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,
But the ^(B)tongue of the wise brings healing.
¹⁹ Truthful lips will endure forever,
But a ^(C)lying tongue is only for a moment.
