It is

For wisdom will enter your heart
And knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;

Her ways are pleasant ways
And all her paths are peace.

My son, eat honey, for it is good,
Yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste;

They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;

Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

How sweet are Your words to my taste!
Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Your words were found and I ate them,
And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart;
For I have been called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.

Within thee

“For I am full of words;
The spirit within me constrains me.

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’”

Fitted

“Listen, for I will speak noble things;
And the opening of my lips will reveal right things.

On the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found,
But a rod is for the back of him who lacks understanding.

The lips of the wise spread knowledge,
But the hearts of fools are not so.

The wise in heart will be called understanding,
And sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.

Like apples of gold in settings of silver
Is a word spoken in right circumstances.

With my lips I have told of
All the ordinances of Your mouth.

For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge, and men should seek instruction from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.

Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.
