The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom and his tongue speaks justice.
My mouth will recount Your justice and Your salvation all day, though I do not know the sum of them.
Also my tongue will tell of Your righteousness all day. For those who seek my hurt have been put to shame and confusion.
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little value.
The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of understanding.
The mouth of the righteous bears the fruit of wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be cut out.
The lips of the wise spread knowledge, but not so the heart of fools.
As ointment and perfume gladden the heart, so the sweetness of one’s friend comes from his sincere counsel.
The good man from his good treasury brings forth good, and the evil man from his evil treasury brings forth evil.
Let no harmful word come out of your mouth, but only what is beneficial for building others up according to the need, so that it gives grace to those who hear it.
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, to know how you ought to answer everyone.
