Holy Scripture
Proverbs 8:7
A church father on this verse
“"For my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips." Therefore, they who do not hold the truth of the faith in heart and mouth do not receive salvation in baptism. Because of this, although they have the appearance of piety which consists in the sacrament of baptism, by refusing the power of piety…”

5O ye simple, understand subtlety, And ye that are untaught, imbibe knowledge.
6Hearken to me; for I will speak solemn truths; And will produce right sayings from my lips.
