My sayings the uprightness of my heart, and my lips spake knowledge purely.
If my lips shall speak iniquity, and my tongue if it shall murmur deceit
There is gold and a multitude of pearls: and a precious vessel the lips of knowledge.
The lips of the wise will disperse knowledge: and the heart of the foolish not so.
The tongue of the wise will make knowledge good: and the mouth of the foolish will gush forth folly.
Who this darkening counsel in words without knowledge?
Shall a wise one answer knowledge of wind, and fill his belly with the east wind?
And now be content, look upon me; and before your face if I shall lie;
Behold, now, I opened my mouth, my tongue spake in my palate.
Not now shall I lift up the face of man, and I shall not flatter to man.
For I knew not, shall I flatter; for a little while, he making me will take me away.
For I gave to you good instruction; ye shall not forsake my law.
