Proverbs 5:2

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

That thou mayest regard discretion, And that thy lips may keep knowledge.

See the chapter Copy

The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: But the heart of the foolish doeth not so.

Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: Honey and milk are under thy tongue; And the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: But the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

The lips of the righteous feed many: But fools die for want of wisdom.

With my lips have I declared All the judgments of thy mouth.

My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof.

Thou art fairer than the children of men: Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
