The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaks frowardness.
Blessings are on the head of the just: but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish does not so.
The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.
There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers.
