The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: But the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
A prudent man concealeth knowledge: But the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: But a fool layeth open his folly.
The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips.
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: And a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
Behold, they belch out with their mouth: Swords are in their lips: For who, say they, doth hear?
My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is The pen of a ready writer.
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: But the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
That thou mayest regard discretion, And that thy lips may keep knowledge.
