Bible Commentary

Proverbs 15:2

Wisdom is not only knowing things — it is knowing how to speak what you know at the right time and in the right way. Fools have no filter; their mouths run ahead of their minds. The tongue of the wise is a tool used with skill and care.

Memory phrase: Think before you speak.

Talk about it: Why is it important to think before we speak?

Prayer: God, help me use my words with wisdom.
