The proverbs, maxims of instruction, of Solomon.
V. 30. The righteous shall never be removed, not lose his home or be banished from his country; but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth, they will not remain in possession of the land.
V. 31. The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom, that being the fruit of his lips, the outgrowth of the faith of his heart; but the froward tongue, that given to malice and deceit, shall be cut out, like an unfruitful tree or a dangerous shrub.
V. 32. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, they are familiar with it, they are continually meditating upon it; but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness, only such things as are full of distortion, malice, and deceit. He who follows the precepts of God’s eternal wisdom in His Word will avoid both foolishness and deceit.
