Proverbs 12:18 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

There is that speaketh. — Rather, that babbleth, like the piercing of a sword, that chatters on, not noticing or caring how he may wound the feelings of others by his inconsiderate remarks.

The tongue of the wise is health. — Or, healing; soothing the wounds made by the other’s indiscriminate chatter.

Proverbs 12:18

18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
