“Mouth/Lips of the Righteous”
“Mouth/Lips of the Righteous”
Blessings folk!
The Proverbist is often bold and blunt in his statements.
Such as…
Pro 10:31-32
The mouth of the righteous flows with wisdom,
But the perverted tongue will be cut out.
The lips of the righteous bring forth what is acceptable,
But the mouth of the wicked what is perverted.
Clear is the juxtaposition.
The mouth and lips of the righteous…
- flow with wisdom
- brings forth what is acceptable.
The mouth of the wicked…
- perverted tongue…that will be cut out
- speak perversion
Out of the mouth and heart flow the issues of the heart…the truth of who we are.
Remember?
Pro 4:23
Watch over your heart with all diligence,
For from it flow the springs of life.
What are your mouth and lips revealing?
What is your tongue reflecting?
A pure heart of the Lord?
A corrupted heart of the flesh of man?
Be sound of speech…
Tit 2:8
…sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.
