Proverbs 10:31

A Conservative Version

The mouth of a righteous man brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue shall be cut off.

See the chapter Copy

The mouth of a righteous man talks of wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.

In the lips of him who has discernment wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.

The mouth of a righteous man is a fountain of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him shall glory, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

Let the lying lips be dumb, which speak against the righteous man insolently, with pride and contempt.

He who has a wayward heart finds no good, and he who has a perverse tongue falls into mischief.

She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the law of kindness is on her tongue.

who have said, With our tongue will we prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?
