Proverbs 8:8
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing froward or perverse in them.
In context
5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: And, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. 6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things. 7 For my mouth shall speak truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips. 8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing froward or perverse in them. 9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, And right to them that find knowledge. 10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than choice gold. 11 For wisdom is better than rubies; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
