Job 33:3

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”

You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.

Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.

A prudent man keeps his knowledge, but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.

“Yahweh’s Spirit spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.

Do you intend to reprove words, since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?

Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

Every prudent man acts from knowledge, but a fool exposes folly.

The heart of the righteous weighs answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.

Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.

A fool also multiplies words. Man doesn’t know what will be; and that which will be after him, who can tell him?

desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

My doctrine will drop as the rain. My speech will condense as the dew, as the misty rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb.

surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness, neither will my tongue utter deceit.

Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.

For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool’s speech with a multitude of words.

The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”

But the things which proceed out of the mouth come out of the heart, and they defile the man.

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!

this Ezra went up from Babylon. He was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which Yahweh, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to Yahweh his God’s hand on him.

“How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?

Will you speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for him?

Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?

If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”

‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’

My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?”

Save me, God, for the waters have come up to my neck!

She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.

for I give you sound learning. Don’t forsake my law.

You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart!

For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.

Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!

The wise in heart shall be called prudent. Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction.

The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.

There is gold and abundance of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.

While the king sat at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.

Ephraim feeds on wind, and chases the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. They make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.

You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate, but rather giving of thanks.

If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

Isn’t it that I have no help in me, That wisdom is driven quite from me?

Now therefore be pleased to look at me, for surely I will not lie to your face.

“No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.

But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Yes, who doesn’t know such things as these?

But you are forgers of lies. You are all physicians of no value.

Oh that you would be completely silent! Then you would be wise.

“Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?

But as for you all, come back. I will not find a wise man among you.

You have reproached me ten times. You aren’t ashamed that you attack me.

be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.”

“Therefore my thoughts answer me, even by reason of my haste that is in me.

I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.

If it isn’t so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?”

How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!

I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.

Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.’

For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

“Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.

My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart will utter understanding.

Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.

I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.

Yahweh detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.

You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.

As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
