Proverbs of a 37 yr old man

Truth without grace is mean; grace without truth is meaningless. Whoever speaks the truth declares what is right, but a false witness, deceit. But there is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Yes, a soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
