Proverbs 23:16

Young's Literal Translation 1862

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.

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;
