On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

His tongue talks not of things idle and impertinent, but of judgment, that is, of the word and providence of God and the rules of wisdom for the right ordering of the conversation. Out of the abundance of a good heart will the mouth speak that which is good and to the use of edifying.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The law of God must be a commanding ruling principle in the heart; it must be a light there, a spring there, and then the conversation will be regular and uniform: None of his steps will slide; it will effectually prevent backsliding into sin, and the uneasiness that follows from it. What is assured to us, as instances of our happiness and comfort, upon these conditions.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
