Knowledge is dropping from the tongue of the wise; but from the mouth of the foolish comes a stream of foolish words.

The heart of the upright gives thought to his answer; but from the mouth of the evil-doer comes a stream of evil things.

For wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasing to your soul;

And when the foolish man is walking in the way, he has no sense and lets everyone see that he is foolish.
