Proverbs 10:31

New King James Version

The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, But the perverse tongue will be cut out.

See the chapter Copy

The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of justice.

Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding, But a rod is for the back of him who is devoid of understanding.

The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

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.

Let the lying lips be put to silence, Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

He who has a deceitful heart finds no good, And he who has a perverse tongue falls into evil.

She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; Who is lord over us?”
