Proverbs 12:20           New English Translation

20 Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,

but those who promote peace have joy.

 

Definition

 

Write a word and mean it. Does that explain its meaning?

To be understood shouldn’t it be close to the original thought?

The atmosphere and environment within the emotional status

Should impress you at that moment the simplicity as it ought

 

When others come and read it and ask for an explanation

You will recall the moment and then interpret the mood

But if not there to explain it, how would it be entertained?

If not by one’s own perception and could be misunderstood

 

But how to define then what you mean to people in a hurry?

Does it not demand too quickly to arrive at an exclamation point?

Particularly if they have no time to waste to hear your opinion

Although often in words of haste, the meaning is lost and gone
