Good people speak with wisdom, and they say what is fair.
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.
I will tell about your justice all day long. And those who want to hurt me will be ashamed and disgraced.
The words of a good person are like pure silver, but an evil person’s thoughts are worth very little.
Good people’s words will help many others, but fools will die because they don’t have wisdom.
A good person says wise things, but a liar’s tongue will be stopped.
Wise people use their words to spread knowledge, but there is no knowledge in the thoughts of fools.
The sweet smell of perfume and oils is pleasant, and so is good advice from a friend.
Good people have good things in their hearts, and so they say good things. But evil people have evil in their hearts, so they say evil things.
When you talk, do not say harmful things, but say what people need—words that will help others become stronger. Then what you say will do good to those who listen to you.
When you talk, you should always be kind and pleasant so you will be able to answer everyone in the way you should.
