Proverbs 15:2 The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. The tongue of the wise speaks knowledge that is pleasing and acceptable, But the [babbling] mouth of fools spouts folly. The tongue of the wise makes knowledge appealing, but the mouth of a fool belches out foolishness. Knowledge flows like spring water from the wise; fools are leaky faucets, dripping nonsense. The tongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable, But the mouth of fools spouts folly. Wise people use knowledge when they speak, but fools pour out foolishness. When wisdom speaks, understanding becomes attractive. But the words of the fool make their ignorance look laughable. The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly.
