Proverbs 21:28
A lying witness will perish, but the man who listens to truth will speak forever.
BSB
ASV
A false witness shall perish; But the man that heareth shall speak so as to endure.
KJV
A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
The false witness will perish, etc. He who testifies that he serves God, but does not follow through with deeds, will perish. But he who faithfully, as he promises, submits to divine commands, his speech reaches victory, because while he strives through obedience to conquer …
Speaketh constantly - His testimony abides evermore who repeats simply what he has heard, whether from the lips of men or from the voice within, in contrast with “the false witness.”
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
