who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths,

Put away from thee a wayward mouth, and put perverse lips far from thee.

Heaviness in the heart of a man makes it droop, but a good word makes it glad.

He who despises the word brings destruction on himself, but he who fears the commandment shall be rewarded.

A simple man believes every word, but the prudent man looks well to his going.

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a grievous word stirs up anger.

A man has joy in the answer of his mouth, and a word in due season, how good it is!

He who gives heed to the word shall find good, and whoever trusts in LORD, happy is he.

He who has a wayward heart finds no good, and he who has a perverse tongue falls into mischief.

A word fitly spoken is apples of gold in a network of silver.

Every word of God is tried. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
