Psalm 37:30

Modern English Version

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

See the chapter Copy

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you should answer everyone.

Let no unwholesome word proceed out of your mouth, but only that which is good for building up, that it may give grace to the listeners.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but not so the heart of fools.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things. And an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of wisdom.

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

My mouth will tell of Your righteousness and of Your salvation all the day, for I do not know their extent.

Ointment and perfume make the heart glad; so the sweetness of a man’s friend brings joy by hearty counsel.

My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long, for they are confounded and brought to shame who seek my hurt.

The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver; the heart of the wicked is of little worth.
