21 The lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools die for lack of sense.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of sense.
21 The talk of a good person is rich fare for many, but chatterboxes die of an empty heart. Fear-of-God Expands Your Life
21 The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of wisdom.
21 The words of the godly encourage many, but fools are destroyed by their lack of common sense.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 10:21
Commentary on Proverbs 10:20-21
(Read Proverbs 10:20-21)
The tongue of the just is sincere, freed from the dross of guile and evil design. Pious discourse is spiritual food to the needy. Fools die for want of a heart, so the word is; for want of thought.
