Proverbs 10:14
_ _ lay up knowledge — that is, as treasures for good use.
_ _ mouth ... destruction — or, “as to the mouth,” etc., destruction is near; they expose themselves to evil by prating. |
Proverbs 10:14
_ _ Observe, 1. It is the wisdom of the wise that they treasure up a stock of useful knowledge, which will be their preservation: Wisdom is therefore found in their lips (Proverbs 10:13), because it is laid up in their hearts, out of which store, like the good householder, they bring things new and old. Whatever knowledge may be at any time useful to us we must lay it up, because we know not but some time or other we may have occasion for it. We must continue laying up as long as we live; and be sure to lay it up safely, that it may not be to seek when we want it. 2. It is the folly of fools that they lay up mischief in their hearts, which is ready to them in all they say, and works terror and destruction both to others and to themselves. They love devouring words (Psalms 52:4), and these come uppermost. Their mouth is near destruction, having the sharp arrows of bitter words always at hand to throw about. |
Proverbs 10:14
Lay up — In their minds, to be brought forth upon fit occasions. Knowledge — Whereby they may be enabled to speak both what, and when it is seasonable. But — Fools are more forward to lay out than to lay up, and for want of knowledge speak much and foolishly, whereby they frequently bring destruction upon themselves. |
