Proverbs 5:2

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

you will have sound judgment, and you will always know the right thing to say.

See the chapter Copy

With my own mouth, I tell others the laws that you have spoken.

No one is as handsome as you! Your words are always kind. That is why God will always bless you.

All day long I will tell the wonderful things you do to save your people. But you have done much more than I could possibly know.

Many are helped by useful instruction, but fools are killed by their own stupidity.

Words of wisdom come from the wise, but fools speak foolishness.

Words of wisdom make good sense; the thoughts of a fool make no sense at all.

You can persuade others if you are wise and speak sensibly.

Sensible words are better than gold or jewels.

My child, use common sense and sound judgment! Always keep them in mind.

Your lips are a honeycomb; milk and honey flow from your tongue. Your dress has the aroma of cedar trees from Lebanon.
