³ Of the uprightness of my heart `are' my sayings, And knowledge have my lips clearly spoken.

⁴ My lips do not speak perverseness, And my tongue doth not utter deceit.

¹⁵ Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a precious vessel, `are' lips of knowledge.

³ for our exhortation `is' not out of deceit, nor out of uncleanness, nor in guile,

⁴ but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who is proving our hearts,

⁷ The lips of the wise scatter knowledge, And the heart of fools `is' not right.

² The tongue of the wise maketh knowledge good, And the mouth of fools uttereth folly.

⁷ For truth doth my mouth utter, And an abomination to my lips `is' wickedness.

⁸ In righteousness `are' all the sayings of my mouth, Nothing in them is froward and perverse.

³⁰ The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue speaketh judgment.

³¹ The law of his God `is' his heart, His steps do not slide.

² Who `is' this -- darkening counsel, By words without knowledge?

³ I lift up my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I ascribe righteousness.

⁴ For, truly, my words `are' not false, The perfect in knowledge `is' with thee.

² Doth a wise man answer `with' vain knowledge? And fill `with' an east wind his belly?

²⁸ And, now, please, look upon me, Even to your face do I lie?
