The mouth of the righteous will be fruitful in wisdom, Verse. 31 but the tongue of the unrighteous shall be cut out.
The mouth of the righteous will be fruitfull in wisedome, Verse. 31 but the tongue of the vnrighteous shall be cut out.
This verse agreeth altogether in substance of matter with the cleaventh: only the comparison is altered: for there the tongue of a good man for the constant store of holy speeches, was resembled to a plentiful fountain, and here to a fruitful tree, or fertile field: & there the wicked for lewd speeches was threatened to have his mouth stopped, and here to have his tongue cut out, that is, the judgements of god upon him for his ungracious and cursed speakings shall strike him as mute and dumb, as if the tongue were cut out of his head.
