32 The lips of the righteous know what finds favor,

but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.

32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,

but the mouth of the wicked, what is perverse.

32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable:

But the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.

32 The lips of the godly speak helpful words,

but the mouth of the wicked speaks perverse words.

32 Good people know the right thing to say,

but evil people only tell lies.

32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable;

But the mouth of the wicked speaketh perverseness.

32 The lips of a righteous man know what is acceptable; but the mouth of the wicked is frowardness.

32 The lips of a righteous person announce good will, 

but the mouths of wicked people are devious. 

32 The lips of the righteous know what is appropriate,

but the mouth of the wicked, only what is perverse.

32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,

but the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.

32 The lips of the righteous know the acceptable,

but the mouth of the wicked, the perverse.

32 Those who do right know the proper thing to say.

But those who do wrong speak only twisted words.

32 The lips of the righteous bring forth what is acceptable,

But the mouth of the wicked what is perverted.
