The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.

Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,

The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
