For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her seductive words are smoother than olive oil,

Listen, for I will speak excellent things, and my lips will utter what is right.

For my mouth speaks truth, and my lips hate wickedness.

The one who conceals hatred utters lies, and the one who spreads slander is certainly a fool.

The teaching of the righteous feeds many, but fools die for lack of wisdom.

The lips of the righteous know what is pleasing, but the speech of the wicked is perverse.

The Lord abhors a person who lies, but those who deal truthfully are his delight.

Leave the presence of a foolish person, or you will not understand wise counsel.

The lips of the wise spread knowledge, but not so the heart of fools.

The divine verdict is in the words of the king, his pronouncements must not act treacherously against justice.

The delight of kings is righteous counsel, and they love the one who speaks uprightly.

The lips of a fool enter into strife, and his mouth invites a flogging.

There is gold, and an abundance of rubies, but words of knowledge are like a precious jewel.
