Proverbs 23:16

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

And my reins shall exult in the speaking of thy lips uprightnesses.

See the chapter Copy

Hear ye, for I will speak dear things; and the openings of my lips uprightnesses.

And obscenity, and silly discourse, or wit, which things concern not; but rather thankfulness.

For in many things we all stumble. If any stumble not in word, this a perfect man, able to govern by a bridle also the whole body.

That I might manifest, as is fitting for me to speak.

Let not any foul word go out of your mouth, but if any good to the building of necessity, that it might give grace to them hearing.

Thy heart shall not envy against those sinning: but be in the fear of Jehovah all the day.
