A lying tongue is but for a moment - Truth stands for ever; because its foundation is indestructible: but falsehood may soon be detected; and, though it gain credit for a while, it had that credit because it was supposed to be truth.
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. Proverbs 12:19. HP 179.1
