Proverbs 10:31

Young's Literal Translation 1862

The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue of frowardness is cut out.

See the chapter Copy

Who said, `By our tongue we do mightily: Our lips `are' our own; who `is' lord over us?'

Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.

The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment.

And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking lies!

A fountain of life `is' the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.

In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod `is' for the back of him who is lacking understanding.

The perverse of heart findeth not good, And the turned in his tongue falleth into evil.

Her mouth she hath opened in wisdom, And the law of kindness `is' on her tongue.
