The similitudes here seem to be elegantly transposed. 1. The
well-spring of wisdom is as deep waters. An intelligent knowing man has
in him a good treasure of useful things, which furnishes him with
something to say upon all occasions that is pertinent and profitable.
This is as deep waters, which make no noise, but never run dry. 2. The
words of such a man's mouth are as a flowing brook. What he sees cause
to speak flows naturally from him and with a great deal of ease, and
freedom, and natural fluency; it is clean and fresh, it is cleansing
and refreshing; from his deep waters there flows what there is occasion
for, to water those about him, as the brooks do the low grounds.
