Proverbs12:19

19. The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

d The speaker of truth is constant, and always agreeable to himself, and his words the more and longer they are tried, the more doth the truth of them appear, whereas Liars, though they may make a fair shew for a season, yet are easily and quickly convicted of falshood.
