Proverbs 15:7 (KJV)
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
Proverbs 15:14 (KJV)
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
Proverbs 15:28 (KJV)
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
Jesus said, Matthew 15:18-19
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
The connection between the mouth and the heart is unmistakable. It is from our affections that we speak. It is also from the heart, from those things that matter to us most, that we seek what we feed our hearts. We feed it what we like most.
The wise choose carefully upon that which they put in their hearts.Proverbs 15:14
They seek knowledge. They look for things that will grow and build them. They look for what is profitable and helpful.
The wise think carefully about what they speakProverbs 15:28
Drawing from that well of carefully placed knowledge, they consider what it is they will dispense at any given moment.
The wise disperse finally that which is knowledgeProverbs 15:7
Because they have knowledge from which to draw and they have studied before they disperse it, what they speak is generally knowledgeable.
It is not so with the foolish.
- They have not guarded what is placed in their hearts
- They do not think before they disperse what is in their hearts and so
- They have no knowledge to give from their hearts.
