5  ⁿGet wisdom; get ^ginsight;

do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.

5  to keep you from ^lthe forbidden¹ woman,

from ^lthe adulteress² with her smooth words.

19  ^eWhen words are many, transgression is not lacking,

^fbut whoever restrains his lips is prudent.

24  ^uGracious words are like ^va honeycomb,

sweetness to the soul and ^whealth to the body.

27  Whoever ^wrestrains his words has knowledge,

and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
