1 The ones who are good and kind love the truth. They seek what is true and embrace it; they guard it with their lives.
2 Their words are fair and good, for in love for humanity they speak the truth. Though deceivers may band together against them and slander their name, they stand firm on the truth and proclaim it to people.
3 When someone asks them a question, they do not lie, nor do they embellish the truth, nor do they concoct stories, nor do they distort reality for any reason, nor do they conceal to spare one's feelings. Rather, they state the truth frankly and plainly, and they are not ashamed.
4 In a court of law, their witness can be taken as fact. They are questioned and found true.
5 Even their enemies trust them, for they only say what is true. Their adversaries can bring no valid allegation against them.
