THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART
June 28, 2026
Proverbs 12:17–22
[17] Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence,
but a false witness utters deceit.
[18] There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
[19] Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
[20] Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
but those who plan peace have joy.
[21] No ill befalls the righteous,
but the wicked are filled with trouble.
[22] Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD,
but those who act faithfully are his delight. (ESV)
