Proverbs 5:2

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

To watch meditation, and thy lips shall guard knowledge.

See the chapter Copy

With my lips I recounted all the judgments of thy mouth.

Thou wert very beautiful above the sons of man: grace was poured forth by thy lips: for this God praised thee forever.

My mouth shall recount thy justice, all the day thy salvation, for I knew not numbers.

The lips of the just one shall feed many: and fools in wanting heart, shall die.

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.

The heart of the wise shall attend to his mouth, and he shall add knowledge to his lips.

There is gold and a multitude of pearls: and a precious vessel the lips of knowledge.

My son, they shall not depart from thine eyes: keep counsel and meditation:

Thy lips will drop honey droppings, O bride: honey and milk under thy tongue, and the odor of thy garments as the odor of Lebanon.
