Los labios del justo dan a conocer lo agradable, pero la boca de los impíos, lo perverso.
Los labios del justo saben lo que agrada; mas la boca de los impíos habla perversidades.
Los labios del justo conocerán la voluntad de Dios ; mas la boca de los impíos habla perversidades.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,.... To God and man; what is well pleasing to, God, and what ministers grace to the hearers, or what is grateful: and such things they will deliver out; they are used and accustomed to them; not only the righteous know in their judgment what is acceptable, but they use themselves to say those things; they not only know them in theory, but practise them: some men know what is acceptable, but their lips do not know it; they are not used to it, but the contrary;
but the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] frowardness; or perverse things, as before. Or, "the mouth of the wicked [knoweth] frowardness" b; or perverse things; or is used only to speak froward things; things contrary to truth and righteousness, and which they know to be so; their mouth speaks things contrary to their hearts; their hearts and mouths do not agree, when they both flatter and lie.
b "Novit tantum perversa", Michaelis,
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Know - i. e., “Know, and therefore utter.†So, in like manner, the “mouth of the wicked†knows, and therefore speaks frowardness, and that only.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 10:32. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable — And what they believe to be most pleasing and most profitable, that they speak, but the wicked man knows as well what is perverse, and that he speaketh forth. As the love of God is not in his heart, so the law of kindness is not on his lips.
