Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a precious vessel, are lips of knowledge.

The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment.

Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;

Blessings are for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.

The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.

Words of the mouth of the wise are gracious, And the lips of a fool swallow him up.

Brood of vipers! how are ye able to speak good things -- being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart doth the mouth speak.

so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle!
