Proverbs 15:28

The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

The heart of the righteous studieth to answer (speaketh nothing without due premeditation: doth not rashly 'pour out' whatever comes uppermost): but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things - in great copiousness, and without intermission. He "studieth" not beforehand what "to answer." Speaking so much, he cannot but speak "evil things" (). Not his heart, as in the case of the righteous, but his "mouth" takes the lead.
