Proverbs 10:31

Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

The mouth of a just [or rightwise] man shall bring forth wisdom; the tongue of shrews shall perish.

See the chapter Copy

Which said, We shall magnify with our tongue, our lips be of us-selves; who else is our lord?

guileful lips be made dumb. That speak wickedness against a just [or rightwise] man; in pride, and in mis-using or in abusing.

The mouth of a just [or rightwise] man shall bethink wisdom; and his tongue shall speak doom.

But the king shall be glad in God; and all men shall be praised that swear in him; for the mouth of them, that speak wicked things, is stopped.

The vein of life is the mouth of a just [or rightwise] man; but the mouth of wicked men covereth wickedness.

Wisdom is found in the lips of a wise man; and a rod in the back of him that is needy of heart.

He that is of wayward heart, shall not find good; and he that turneth the tongue, shall fall into evil.

She opened her mouth to wisdom; and the law of mercy is in her tongue.
