2 The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly,(A)But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.
28 The heart of the righteous (A)studies how to answer,But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.
23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,And adds learning to his lips.
21 (A)Death and life are in the power of the tongue,And those who love it will eat its fruit.
34 (A)Brood[a] of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? (B)For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
