| Save me, Lord, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. | Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. |
|
| The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating. | A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. |
| The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy. | Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight. |
| Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips and spreads slander is a fool. | He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. |
| Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler! | Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. |
| My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you— I whom you have delivered. | My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. |
| The lips of the righteous know what finds favor, but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse. | The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness. |
| Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. | Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. |
| Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious, but fools are consumed by their own lips. | The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. |
| Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin. | He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. |
| I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread. | Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. |
| Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. | Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. |
| Take words with you and return to the Lord. Say to him: “Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously, that we may offer the fruit of our lips.” | Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. |
| I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. | I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. |
| Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues. | Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. |
| For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.” | For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. |
| Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues. | In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. |
| I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips; and I used no lotions at all until the three weeks were over. | I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. |
| All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. | In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. |
| Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. | This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. |

| Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. | Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. |
