The mouthof the righteousflowswith wisdom,But the pervertedtonguewill be cutout.
Whohave said,"With our tonguewe will prevail;Our lipsare our own; whois lordover us?"
Let the lyinglipsbe mute,Which speakarrogantlyagainstthe righteousWith prideand contempt.
The mouthof the righteousutterswisdom,And his tonguespeaksjustice.
But the kingwill rejoicein God;Everyonewho swearsby Him will glory,For the mouthsof those who speaklieswill be stopped.
The mouthof the righteousis a fountainof life,But the mouthof the wickedconcealsviolence.
On the lipsof the discerning,wisdomis found,But a rodis for the backof him wholacksunderstanding.
He whohasa crookedmindfindsnogood,And he who is pervertedin his languagefallsinto evil.
She opensher mouthin wisdom,And the teachingof kindnessis on her tongue.
