TSK · Proverbs 22:18

More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.

How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth!

I rejoice at your word, as one who finds great spoil.

For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings.

Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things.

The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.

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

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

For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of Yahweh of Armies.

Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.
