my lips will not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

For my mouth shall utter truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; nothing crooked or perverse is in them;

For our exhortation did not come from error or uncleanness, nor was it in deceit.

But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?

I will take away my knowledge from afar; I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

For truly my words are not false; the One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of justice.

The Law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly, but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the fool is not so.

There is gold and a multitude of rubies; but the lips of knowledge are a prized vessel.
