The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so the hearts of fools.
The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil.
The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of sense.
The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge.
Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.
And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed who sought to do me hurt.
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; the heart of the wicked is of little worth.
