There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.

For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.

Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.

Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.

Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.

He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.

The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.

Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.

Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.

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.

Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.

For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.
