Proverbs 5:2

A Conservative Version

that thou may preserve discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

See the chapter Copy

The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the foolish, not so.

Thy lips, O [my] bride, drop the honeycomb. Honey and milk are under thy tongue, and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

The tongue of the wise utters knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours out folly.

The lips of a righteous man feeds many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.

With my lips I have declared all the ordinances of thy mouth.

My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, of thy salvation all the day, for I know not the numbers.

Thou are fairer than the sons of men. Grace is poured into thy lips. Therefore God has blessed thee forever.

There is gold, and abundance of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

My son, let them not depart from thine eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
