Pro 15:28 | KingComments | STEP | “The righteous” is not a blabbermouth. He “ponders” in his heart what he will answer when he is asked something or when something happens to him from God ( ). To ponder is to weigh or study. He who is wise is careful with his words. For a good answer, we need Godly wisdom because we are surrounded by an evil world. Therefore, we must carefully consider what and how to answer. The wicked are not guided by the fear of God. Therefore, out of their mouths comes a stream of evil things. They cause evil with what comes out of their mouth. Their mouth overflows with it. Their mouth is an unstoppable source of pain to others. They bring evil things out of the evil treasure of their heart ( ).

‏ Proverbs 15:28

Think First, Then Answer

“The righteous” is not a blabbermouth. He “ponders” in his heart what he will answer when he is asked something or when something happens to him from God (Hab 2:1). To ponder is to weigh or study. He who is wise is careful with his words. For a good answer, we need Godly wisdom because we are surrounded by an evil world. Therefore, we must carefully consider what and how to answer.

The wicked are not guided by the fear of God. Therefore, out of their mouths comes a stream of evil things. They cause evil with what comes out of their mouth. Their mouth overflows with it. Their mouth is an unstoppable source of pain to others. They bring evil things out of the evil treasure of their heart (Mt 12:34-35).
