2 So that you may be ruled by a wise purpose, and your lips may keep knowledge.
You are fairer than the children of men; grace is flowing through your lips; for this cause the blessing of God is with you for ever.
My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.
The lips of the upright man give food to men, but the foolish come to death for need of sense.
Knowledge is dropping from the tongue of the wise; but from the mouth of the foolish comes a stream of foolish words.
The heart of the wise man is the teacher of his mouth, and gives increased learning to his lips.
Your lips are dropping honey; honey and milk are under your tongue; and the smell of your clothing is like the smell of Lebanon.
True teaching was in his mouth, and no evil was seen on his lips: he was walking with me in peace and righteousness, turning numbers of people away from evil-doing. For it is right for the priest's lips to keep knowledge, and for men to be waiting for the law from his mouth: for he is the servant sent from the Lord of armies.
