Be careful to use good sense, and watch what you say.
Wise people’s minds tell them what to say, and that helps them be better teachers.
Wise people use their words to spread knowledge, but there is no knowledge in the thoughts of fools.
My bride, your lips drip honey; honey and milk are under your tongue. Your clothes smell like the cedars of Lebanon.
Wise people use knowledge when they speak, but fools pour out foolishness.
Good people’s words will help many others, but fools will die because they don’t have wisdom.
My lips will tell about all the laws you have spoken.
I will tell how you do what is right. I will tell about your salvation all day long, even though it is more than I can tell.
You are more handsome than anyone, and you are an excellent speaker, so God has blessed you forever.
There is gold and plenty of rubies, but only a few people speak with knowledge.
My child, hold on to wisdom and good sense. Don’t let them out of your sight.
