For my mouth will utter truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
Proverbs 8:7
Wisdom is doing the talking in Proverbs chapter eight. It is a wonderful discourse from God who is not just wise, but is wisdom!
Wisdom strongly commends truth and condemns all that is not truth.
Proverbs 8:6-9
Listen, for I will speak noble things; and the opening of my lips will reveal right things. For my mouth will utter truth and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the utterances of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing crooked or perverted in them. They are straightforward to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge.

Proverbs 29:27
An unjust man is abominable to the righteous, and he who is upright in the way is abominable to the wicked.
Nor can the fence between them be straddled.
James 3:14-15
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.
Wisdom has nothing to do with what is earthly, natural and demonic. It has everything to do with truth and righteousness. Pick a side! We cannot play on both sides!
