Proverbs 10:31

Catholic Public Domain Version

The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom. The tongue of the depraved will perish.

See the chapter Copy

Look upon me and listen to me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep forever in death,

The just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him. And all the upright of heart will be praised.

The mouth of the just is a vein of life. And the mouth of the impious covers iniquity.

In the lips of the wise, wisdom is discovered. And a rod is for the back of one who lacks heart.

Whoever is of a perverse heart shall not find good. And whoever turns his tongue shall fall into evil.

She has opened her mouth to wisdom, and the law of clemency is on her tongue.
