Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.

For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.

He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
