The mouth of the righteous [is] a well of life, But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding, But a rod [is] for the back of him who is devoid of understanding.

The tongue of the righteous [is] choice silver; The heart of the wicked [is worth] little.

The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of wisdom.

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

Let the lying lips be put to silence, Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

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, You false tongue?

Sharp arrows of the warrior, With coals of the broom tree!
