Proverbs 23:16

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

Hear ye, for I will speak dear things; and the openings of my lips uprightnesses.

Let not any foul word go out of your mouth, but if any good to the building of necessity, that it might give grace to them hearing.

And obscenity, and silly discourse, or wit, which things concern not; but rather thankfulness.

That I might manifest, as is fitting for me to speak.

For in many things we all stumble. If any stumble not in word, this a perfect man, able to govern by a bridle also the whole body.
