Verse 18 is found in chapter 12 of Proverbs. The section contrasts productive work with chasing fantasies and shows how words can wound or heal. One who speaks rashly can cause harm like a sword, while the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truth endures, but falsehood is temporary. Wisdom therefore appears as a discipline both of economic actions and of everyday communication.
