Proverbs 10:31

Modern King James Version

The mouth of the just brings forth wisdom; but the perverse tongue shall be cut out.

See the chapter Copy

that has said, With our tongue we shall do much; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?

Let the lying lips be put to silence; the lips which speak proudly against the righteous, with pride and scorn.

The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of judgment.

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

The mouth of a righteous one is a well of life; but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

In the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found; but a rod is for the back of him who is without understanding.

He who has a perverse heart finds no good, and he who has a crooked tongue falls into mischief.

She opens her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
