To observe thoughtfulness, And knowledge do thy lips keep.
With my lips I have recounted All the judgments of Thy mouth.
Thou hast been beautified above the sons of men, Grace hath been poured into thy lips, Therefore hath God blessed thee to the age.
My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.
The tongue of the wise maketh knowledge good, And the mouth of fools uttereth folly.
The lips of the wise scatter knowledge, And the heart of fools `is' not right.
The heart of the wise causeth his mouth to act wisely, And by his lips he increaseth learning,
Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a precious vessel, `are' lips of knowledge.
My son! let them not turn from thine eyes, Keep thou wisdom and thoughtfulness,
Thy lips drop honey, O spouse, Honey and milk `are' under thy tongue, And the fragrance of thy garments `Is' as the fragrance of Lebanon.
