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