When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:

So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.

For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.

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

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.

The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
