TSK · Proverbs 22:18

They are of greater value than gold, than even a great amount of pure gold; they bring greater delight than honey, than even the sweetest honey from a honeycomb.

Your words are sweeter in my mouth than honey!

I rejoice in your instructions, like one who finds much plunder.

For wisdom will enter your heart, and moral knowledge will be attractive to you.

My child, pay attention to my words; listen attentively to my sayings.

Listen, for I will speak excellent things, and my lips will utter what is right.

The teaching of the righteous feeds many, but fools die for lack of sense.

The one who is wise in heart is called discerning, and kind speech increases persuasiveness.

Like apples of gold in settings of silver, so is a word skillfully spoken.

For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge of sacred things, and people should seek instruction from him because he is the messenger of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

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