Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. {I am...: Heb. thy name is called upon me}

When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom. {of wisdom: Heb. of heart}

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! {yea, sweeter} than honey to my mouth! {taste: Heb. palate}

Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips {shall be} right things.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish {doeth} not so.

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they {are} the rejoicing of my heart.

My son, eat thou honey, because {it is} good; and the honeycomb, {which is} sweet to thy taste: {to...: Heb. upon thy palate}

More to be desired {are they} than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. {the honeycomb: Heb. the dropping of honeycombs}

For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. {matter: Heb. words} {spirit...: Heb. spirit of my belly}

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Her ways {are} ways of pleasantness, and all her paths {are} peace.

My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod {is} for the back of him that is void of understanding. {of understanding: Heb. of heart}

The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

A word fitly spoken {is like} apples of gold in pictures of silver. {fitly...: Heb. spoken upon his wheels}

With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of {our} lips giving thanks to his name. {giving...: Gr. confessing to}

For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he {is} the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

So {shall} the knowledge of wisdom {be} unto thy soul: when thou hast found {it}, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Her ways {are} ways of pleasantness, and all her paths {are} peace.

A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; {and} with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good. {wisdom: Heb. an heart}
