Words from the mouth of God
"Wisdom comes from the heart of God."
Quotes from the Book of Proverbs – The Bible
For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. Out in the open wisdom calls aloud. She raises her voice in the public square; on top of the wall she cries out, at the city gate she makes her speech:
Every word of God is flawless.
He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Proverbs 30:5 (NIV)
A person finds joy in giving an apt reply— and how good is a timely word!
The soothing tongue is a tree of life.
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver.
The lips of the righteous nourish many.
The one who has understanding holds their tongue.
Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver.
The lips of the righteous nourish many.
The one who has understanding holds their tongue.
Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
The prudent keep their knowledge to themselves.
A gentle answer turns away wrath.
The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge.
The tongue of the wise brings healing.
Whoever would foster love covers over an offense.
The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint,
and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.
Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.
You will notice that I chose to include only positive parts of those proverbs - If I had included the warnings, I wouldn't have been able to get them all on one post. Besides these gave me plenty to think about and work on. Wow!
I took these thoughts from several versions of the Bible and you'll find that some of the wording might be a little different, but I've tried very hard to keep the thoughts true to the Bible.
