Proverbs 10:31

God's Word

The mouth of a righteous person increases wisdom, but a devious tongue will be cut off.

See the chapter Copy

that has said, “We will overcome with our tongues. With lips such as ours, who can be our master?”

Let ⌞their⌟ lying lips be speechless, since they speak against righteous people with arrogance and contempt.

The mouth of the righteous person reflects on wisdom. His tongue speaks what is fair.

But the king will find joy in God. Everyone who takes an oath by God will brag, but the mouths of liars will be shut.

The mouth of a righteous person is a fountain of life, but the mouths of wicked people conceal violence.

Wisdom is found on the lips of a person who has understanding, but a rod is for the back of one without sense.

A twisted mind never finds happiness, and one with a devious tongue ⌞repeatedly⌟ gets into trouble.

“She speaks with wisdom, and on her tongue there is tender instruction.
