Proverbs 23:16

A Conservative Version

Yea, my heart will rejoice when thy lips speak right things.

See the chapter Copy

Hear, for I will speak excellent things. And the opening of my lips shall be right things.

also indecency, and foolish talking or jesting, things not befitting, but thankfulness instead.

For we all stumble in many things. If any man does not stumble in word, this is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

so that I may make it known as I ought to speak.

Let no corrupt speech go out of your mouth, rather if there is any good word for edification of a need, so that it may give grace to those who hear.

Let not thy heart envy sinners, but [be thou] in the fear of LORD all the day long.
