That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 5 of Proverbs. The chapter warns against sexual immorality through the image of a woman whose appearance may seem attractive but whose path ultimately leads to bitterness. The language of keeping one’s distance emphasizes that wisdom requires recognizing danger before approaching it. The result of ignoring instruction is described through delayed regret: whoever despises correction eventually laments before others the discipline he rejected.

daß du bewahrest guten Rat und dein Mund wisse Unterschied zu halten.
Para que guardes consejo, Y tus labios conserven la ciencia.
para que conserves la discreción y tus labios guarden el conocimiento.
Afin que tu conserves la réflexion, Et que tes lèvres gardent la connaissance.
Acciocchè tu osservi gli avvedimenti, E che le tue labbra conservino la scienza.
Para que guardes os meus conselhos e os teus lábios observem o conhecimento.
為要使你謹守智謀, 嘴唇保護知識。
