so that you may act with foresight and speak with insight.
With my lips I have repeated every regulation that ⌞comes⌟ from your mouth.
You are the most handsome of Adam’s descendants. Grace is poured on your lips. That is why God has blessed you forever.
My mouth will tell about your righteousness, about your salvation all day long. Even then, it is more than I can understand.
The lips of a righteous person feed many, but stubborn fools die because they have no sense.
The tongues of wise people give good expression to knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out a flood of stupidity.
The lips of wise people spread knowledge, but a foolish attitude does not.
A wise person’s heart controls his speech, and what he says helps others learn.
There are gold and plenty of jewels, but the lips of knowledge are precious gems.
My son, do not lose sight of these things. Use priceless wisdom and foresight.
Your lips drip honey, my bride. Honey and milk are under your tongue. The fragrance of your clothing is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
