| 1 | The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out. | |
| 2 | The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] frowardness. | |
| 3 | A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. | |
| 4 | Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. | |
| 5 | It will save you from the way of evil, from those who speak perversely. |
