That thou mayest preserve discretion, And that thy lips may keep knowledge.
The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips.
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge; But the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
Thy lips, O my bride, drop as 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 uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly.
The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding.
With my lips have I declared All the ordinances of thy mouth.
My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, And of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof.
Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
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:
