Proverbs 10:31

Tree of Life Version

The mouth of the righteous bears the fruit of wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be cut out.

See the chapter Copy

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom and his tongue speaks justice.

Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of one lacking sense.

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

They will be gutted by the sword, and become a prey for jackals.

Adonai, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon You. Let the wicked be ashamed— let them be silent in Sheol.

A perverse heart finds nothing good a devious tongue falls into trouble.

She opens her mouth with wisdom— a lesson of kindness is on her tongue.

May Adonai cut off all flattering lips— a tongue bragging big things.
