Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 10:32

Proverbs 10:32. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable— The LXX read, The lips of the righteous distil graces; and the Syriac, The lips of the righteous acknowledge a kindness or benefit. The righteous make it their study to hurt nobody by their words; but, on the contrary, to speak always according to the dictates of a good and honest heart: while the wicked discover the badness of their heart by the malevolence of their discourse. read more
