⁶ The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity.

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.

¹¹ Thy lips, O `my' bride, drop `as' the honeycomb: Honey and milk are under thy tongue; And the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

²³ The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips.

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

² The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly.

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

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

¹⁵ My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, `And' of thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers `thereof'.

² Thou art fairer than the children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips: Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

¹⁵ There is gold, and abundance of rubies; But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
