Proverbs 23:16

Young's Literal Translation 1898

And my reins exult when thy lips speak uprightly.

See the chapter Copy

Let not thy heart be envious at sinners, But--in the fear of Jehovah all the day.

Hearken, for noble things I speak, And the opening of my lips is uprightness.

Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;

also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, --the things not fit--but rather thanksgiving;

that I may manifest it, as it behoveth me to speak;

for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one is a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body;
