The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

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 man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
