³ My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart; That which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.

⁴ Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, Neither shall my tongue utter deceit.

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

³ For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.

⁴ But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

⁷ The lips of the wise spread knowledge; Not so with the heart of fools.

² The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, But the mouth of fools gush out folly.

⁷ For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

⁸ All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.

³⁰ The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.

³¹ The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

² "Who is this who darkens counsel By words without knowledge?

³ I will get my knowledge from afar, And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

⁴ For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

² "Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?

²⁸ Now therefore be pleased to look at me, For surely I shall not lie to your face.
