Verse 28. The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked babbleth out evil things.
Verse 28. The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked babbleth out euill things.
A Good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth good things. He meditateth what to speak, that he may utter such matter as is most wholesome and profitable; and that not only when a question is demanded of him, or he is otherwise spoken unto; but upon any other occasion, when it concerneth him to say ought: For the word [answer] is more largely taken sometimes in the Scriptures than we use it in our common speech, as Matt. 11. 25. at that time Jesus answered and said, I give thee thanks, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, &c. [but the mouth of the wicked babbleth out evil things] he can neither be silent, nor speak well; but is full of discourse, and always prattling rashly, vainly, offensively, and lewdly.
