There are those who speak like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it is a break in the spirit.

Righteous lips are the delight of kings, and they love him who speaks what is right.

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

As a ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to an attentive ear.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

for as he thinks in his heart, so is he. Eat and drink! he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

And Jehovah saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all day long.

And Jehovah smelled a soothing aroma. And Jehovah said in His heart, I will never again curse the ground because of man, although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again smite every living thing as I have done.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?

Offspring of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
