It will be good to keep these things in mind so that you are ready to repeat them.
Your promises are sweet to me, sweeter than honey in my mouth!
I will follow your rules forever, because they make me happy.
My lips will tell about all the laws you have spoken.
I am as happy over your promises as if I had found a great treasure.
Let me speak your praise, because you have taught me your demands.
They are worth more than gold, even the purest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even the finest honey.
Wise people speak with understanding, but people without wisdom should be punished.
Good people’s words will help many others, but fools will die because they don’t have wisdom.
Wise people use their words to spread knowledge, but there is no knowledge in the thoughts of fools.
The wise are known for their understanding. Their pleasant words make them better teachers.
Wisdom will come into your mind, and knowledge will be pleasing to you.
I am teaching them to you now so that you will put your trust in the Lord.
The right word spoken at the right time is as beautiful as gold apples in a silver bowl.
Wisdom will make your life pleasant and will bring you peace.
My child, pay attention to my words; listen closely to what I say.
Don’t ever forget my words; keep them always in mind.
Listen, because I have important things to say, and what I tell you is right.
Your words came to me, and I listened carefully to them. Your words made me very happy, because I am called by your name, Lord God All-Powerful.
“A priest should teach what he knows, and people should learn the teachings from him, because he is the messenger of the Lord All-Powerful.
If anyone believes in me, rivers of living water will flow out from that person’s heart, as the Scripture says.”
So through Jesus let us always offer to God our sacrifice of praise, coming from lips that speak his name.
