Proverbs 10:31

American Standard Version (1901)

The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom; But the perverse tongue shall be cut off.

See the chapter Copy

The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom, And his tongue speaketh justice.

In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

But the king shall rejoice in God: Every one that sweareth by him shall glory; For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

Let the lying lips be dumb, Which speak against the righteous insolently, With pride and contempt.

He that hath a wayward heart findeth no good; And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

She openeth 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?
