Wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips

If you have been snared with the words of your mouth,
Have been caught with the words of your mouth,

The tongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable,
But the mouth of fools spouts folly.

A fool’s lips bring strife,
And his mouth calls for blows.

Then King Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, “May God do so to me and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.

You destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

So they will make him stumble;

Their own tongue is against them;

All who see them will shake the head.

The king then gave orders, and they brought those men who had maliciously accused Daniel, and they cast them, their children and their wives into the lions’ den; and they had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach will be satisfied;

He will be satisfied with the product of his lips.

He who guards his mouth and his tongue,
Guards his soul from troubles.
