This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_10:32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked [speaketh] frowardness.
Ver. 32. The lips of the righteous.] He carries, as it were, a pair of balances between his lips, and weighs his words before he utters them. Et prodesse volens et delectare - willing to speak things both acceptable and profitable. The wicked throws out anything that lies uppermost, though never so absurd, obscene, defamatory, &c.
“ Aera puto nosci tinnitu, sed pestora verbis:
Sic est, namque id sunt utraque quale sonant. ”
