Verse from Proverbs

“说实话的嘴唇,永远坚立;撒谎的舌头,眨眼间消失。”
‭‭箴言‬ ‭12:19‬ ‭

“Truthful lips will be established forever, But a lying tongue is only for a moment.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12:19‬ ‭

"Tell the truth the first time, then you won't have to remember what you said." This truism by the famous Speaker of the House, Sam Rayburn, is good medicine for us today.

Telling a lie seems gratifying at the time, but it nearly always catches up with us and gives us the added burden of trying to remember what we said and why. Truth endures; a lie is a momentary illusion that ends up a trap filled with burdens.
