Proverbs 10:14 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Wise men lay up, to wit, in their minds and memories, to be brought forth thence upon fit occasions, knowledge; whereby they may be enabled to speak both what and when it is seasonable, for their own or others good. The mouth of the foolish is near destruction; 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

Proverbs 10:14

14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
