Proverbs 10:31

Modern English Version

The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be silenced.

See the chapter Copy

those who say, “With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are in our control. Who is our master?”

Let the lying lips be put to silence, which speak insolently with pride and contempt against the righteous.

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.

But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him shall glory, for the mouths of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

On the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks understanding.

He who has a crooked heart does not prosper; and he who has a deceitful tongue falls into calamity.

She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the teaching of kindness.
