There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise [promotes] health.

A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word [spoken] in due season, how good [it is!]

The thoughts of the wicked [are] an abomination to the LORD, But [the words] of the pure [are] pleasant.

Yes, my inmost being will rejoice When your lips speak right things.

A word fitly spoken [is like] apples of gold In settings of silver.

[Like] an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold [Is] a wise rebuker to an obedient ear.

Ointment and perfume delight the heart, And the sweetness of a man's friend [gives delight] by hearty counsel.

Let my teaching drop as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, As raindrops on the tender herb, And as showers on the grass.

Your lips, O [my] spouse, Drip as the honeycomb; Honey and milk [are] under your tongue; And the fragrance of your garments [Is] like the fragrance of Lebanon.

Then, the same day at evening, being the first [day] of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace [be] with you."

So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."

My son, eat honey because [it is] good, And the honeycomb [which is] sweet to your taste;

So [shall] the knowledge of wisdom [be] to your soul; If you have found [it,] there is a prospect, And your hope will not be cut off.

More to be desired [are they] than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

How sweet are Your words to my taste, [Sweeter] than honey to my mouth!

Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.

It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

For they [are] life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.
