My words will be from the uprightness of my heart, and my lips will utter knowledge clearly.
my lips will not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
There is gold and a multitude of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but not so the heart of fools.
The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright, but the mouth of fools pours out folly.
“Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
“Should a wise man reply with empty knowledge and fill his lungs with the east wind?
“And now, please give me your attention, for surely I will not lie to you.
Behold, now I have opened my mouth; my tongue has spoken in my mouth.
Let me not, I pray, show partiality to anyone, nor let me give flattering titles to man.
For I do not know how to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
for I give you good teaching; do not forsake my teaching.
