Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?

Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:

The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.

Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

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.

For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.

The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.

And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.

Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
