14 The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
14 An intelligent person is always eager to take in more truth; fools feed on fast-food fads and fancies.
14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge, But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
14 A wise person is hungry for knowledge, while the fool feeds on trash.
(Read Proverbs 15:14)
A wise man seeks to gain more wisdom, growing in grace and in the knowledge of Christ. But a carnal mind rests contented, flattering itself.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
11 The mouth of a good person is a deep, life-giving well, but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
11 The words of the godly are a life-giving fountain; the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions.
(Read Proverbs 10:11)
The good man's mouth is always open to teach, comfort, and correct others.
