A bitter soul bringeth forth bitter words. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. If there be abundance of joy in the heart, the mouth will speak joyfully; and if there be abundance of sorrow in the heart, the mouth speaks sorrowfully.1 As when there is abundance of filth in the heart, the mouth speaks filthiness. We may see the lines and image of mans mind drawn upon his words. One man speaks in the anger of his soul, and he speaks angerly. Another speaks in the pride of his soul, and he speaks proudly. A third speaks in the profaneness of his soul, and he speaks profanely. Again, one speaks in the courage of his soul, and he speaks courageously. Another speaks in the patience of his soul, and he speaks patiently. A third speaks in the faith of his soul, and he speaks believingly. There is a nearness to this sense, in that of the sixtieth Psalm (vers. 6.) God hath spoken in his holiness; and we are assured he cannot but speak holily, who is all holy. I (saith Job) will speak in the bitterness of my soul, and he spake bitterly; his soul was bitter, and so was his speech too.

A third speaks in the profanenesse of his soul, and he speaks profanely. Again, one speaks in the courage of his soul, and he speaks couragiously. Another speaks in the patience of his soul, and he speaks patiently. A third speaks in the faith of his soul, and he speaks beleevingly. There is a neernesse to this sense, in that of the sixtieth Psalm (vers. 6.) God hath spoken in his holinesse; and we are assured he cannot but speak holily, who is all holy. I (saith Job) will speak in the bitternesse of my soul, and he spake bitterly; his soul was bitter, and so was his speech too.
