My words come from my upright heart, and my lips speak with sincerity what they know.
my lips will not speak unjustly, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
There is gold and a multitude of jewels, but knowledgeable lips are a rare treasure.
The lips of the wise broadcast knowledge, but not so the heart of fools.
The tongue of the wise makes knowledge attractive, but the mouth of fools blurts out foolishness.
Who is this who obscures my counsel with ignorant words?
Does a wise man answer with empty counsel or fill himself with the hot east wind?
But now, please look at me; I will not lie to your face.
I am going to open my mouth; my tongue will form words on my palate.
I will be partial to no one, and I will not give anyone an undeserved title.
For I do not know how to give such titles; otherwise, my Maker would remove me in an instant.
for I am giving you good instruction. Don’t abandon my teaching.
