The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

Wisdom is found in the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks heart.

The tongue of the just is as choice silver; the heart of the wicked is as little.

The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of heart.

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

Let the lying lips be put to silence; the lips which speak with arrogance, haughtiness and contempt against the just.

But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him shall glory; but the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

What shall be given to you, or what shall be done to you, O deceitful tongue?

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of the broom tree!
