Proverbs 10:31

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.

See the chapter Copy

who have said, *With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?*

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.

But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.

The mouth of the righteous is a spring of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who is void of understanding.

One who has a perverse heart doesn't find prosperity, and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.

She opens her mouth with wisdom. Faithful instruction is on her tongue.
