Proverbs 15:28

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

This verse underscores the importance of careful thought and discernment before speaking. The heart of the righteous "studieth to answer," indicating that a righteous person takes time to consider their response, ensuring it is both wise and appropriate. This contrasts sharply with the behavior of the wicked, whose words are impulsive and harmful. The righteous are guided by wisdom and a desire to speak truth, while the wicked are driven by selfishness, deceit, or malice. The contrast between these two types of speech highlights a key principle in Christian living: our words should be measured and intentional, reflecting our relationship with God and our desire to build up others. In practical terms, this verse calls us to slow down and think before we speak, especially when we are tempted to react impulsively. Thoughtful speech requires self-discipline, humility, and a heart that seeks to honor God. It encourages us to be slow to speak, quick to listen, and careful in how we engage with others. When we cultivate this mindset, our words can become instruments of grace and peace, rather than tools of division or harm.
