¹⁸ For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee, If they be established together upon thy lips.

¹⁰ For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, And knowledge shall be pleasant unto thy soul;

⁷ The lips of the wise disperse knowledge; But the heart of the foolish `doeth' not so.

²¹ The wise in heart shall be called prudent; And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

¹³ My son, eat thou honey, for it is good; And the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to thy taste:

¹⁴ So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.

¹¹ A word fitly spoken Is `like' apples of gold in network of silver.

¹⁶ Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy words were unto me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, O Jehovah, God of hosts.

⁷ For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of Jehovah of hosts.

³⁸ He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.

¹⁵ Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name.

²¹ The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding.

¹³ In the lips of him that hath discernment wisdom is found; But a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

¹³ With my lips have I declared All the ordinances of thy mouth.

¹⁰³ How sweet are thy words unto my taste! `Yea, sweeter' than honey to my mouth!

¹¹¹ Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; For they are the rejoicing of my heart.

¹⁶² I rejoice at thy word, As one that findeth great spoil.

¹⁷¹ Let my lips utter praise; For thou teachest me thy statutes.

¹⁷ Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.

⁶ Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.

¹⁸ For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.

¹⁹ Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent; Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst.
