Proverbs 15:2

SCRIPTURE

"The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly." — Proverbs 15:2 (ASV)

Useth knowledge aright - Rather, makes knowledge commendable. The power of well-considered speech to commend true wisdom, is contrasted with the pouring (literally as in the margin) forth of folly.
