My heart is overflowing with knowledge, my lips say what is true.
Will a wise man make answer with knowledge of no value, or will he give birth to the east wind?
Truly, there is no deceit in my lips, and my tongue does not say what is false.
Let me not give respect to any man, or give names of honour to any living.
For I am not able to give names of honour to any man; and if I did, my Maker would quickly take me away.
See, now my mouth is open, my tongue gives out words.
Who is this who makes the purpose of God dark by words without knowledge?
Now then, let your eyes be turned to me, for truly I will not say what is false to your face.
Knowledge is dropping from the tongue of the wise; but from the mouth of the foolish comes a stream of foolish words.
The lips of the wise keep knowledge, but the heart of the foolish man is not right.
There is gold and a store of corals: but the lips of knowledge are a jewel of great price.
For I give you good teaching; do not give up the knowledge you are getting from me.
