That you may preserve discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge.
With my lips have I declared all the judgments of your mouth.
You are fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into your lips: therefore God has blessed you forever.
My mouth shall show forth your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for I know not the limits thereof.
The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for lack of wisdom.
The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness.
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish does not so.
The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
My son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
Your lips, O my spouse, drop like the honeycomb: honey and milk are under your tongue; and the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
