Make Knowledge Attractive
Commentators agree that the wise don't just speak truth, they speak it 'aright.' This means they present knowledge in a way that is helpful, edifying, and attractive. As Albert Barnes notes, their speech 'makes knowledge commendable,' while John Gill adds that proper use of knowledge makes it appear 'beautiful and lovely.' The goal is not just to be correct, but to win others over to wisdom.
