@souloftorah: Proverbs 12:17-22 The Power of Words and the Path of the Righteous King Solomon presents a series of sharp contrasts between truth and falsehood, harm and healing, deceit and peace. Verse 17: “He that breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.” The Ralbag explains that a person who is habitually truthful will testify honestly, while one who is accustomed to lying will deceive even when asked to tell the truth. Verse 18: “There is that speaketh like the thrusts of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.” Reckless speech pierces like a sword, but the words of the wise bring healing. Verse 19: “The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment.” Truth endures; falsehood fades. Verse 20: “Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; and to the counsellors of peace is joy.” Those who plot evil are filled with deceit, but those who seek peace experience true joy. Verse 21: “No mischief shall befall the righteous; but the wicked are filled with evil.” The righteous are protected from harm, while the wicked are consumed by their own evil. Verse 22: “Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD; but they that deal truly are His delight.” God detests falsehood and delights in those who walk in truth.#psalms #psalm #jewishtiktok #souloftorah #torahsoul
