Proverbs 15:2 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. Useth knowledge aright - This is very difficult to know: - when to speak, and when to be silent; what to speak, and what to leave unspoken; the manner that is best and most suitable to the occasion, the subject, the circumstances, and the persons. All these are difficulties, often even to the wisest men. Even wise counsel may be foolishly given.
