The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.

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

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
