Proverbs 10:13-14

In the lips, &c., wisdom is found His wisdom shows itself in his prudent speeches, by which he escapes that rod which fools meet with, and gains that reputation and advantage to himself which fools lose; but a rod is for the back of him He may expect rebukes and punishments from God and men; that is void of understanding That shows his folly by his foolish words. Wise men lay up Namely, in their minds, to be brought forth upon fit occasions; knowledge By which they may be enabled to speak both what and when it is seasonable; but the mouth of fools is near destruction Fools are more forward to lay out than to lay up, and, for want of knowledge, speak much and foolishly, and thereby frequently bring destruction upon themselves.
