Proverbs 16:21

Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible · Matthew Henry (1662–1714) · Public Domain

Note, 1. Those that have solid wisdom will have the credit of it; it

will gain them reputation, and they shall be called prudent grave men,

and a deference will be paid to their judgment. Do that which is wise

and good and thou shalt have the praise of the same. 2. Those that with

their wisdom have a happy elocution, that deliver their sentiments

easily and with a good grace, are communicative of their wisdom and

have words at will, and good language as well as good sense, increase

learning; they diffuse and propagate knowledge to others, and do good

work with it, and by that means increase their own stock. They add

doctrine, improve sciences, and do service to the commonwealth of

learning. To him that has, and uses what he has, more shall be given.
