And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
