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