SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:31
¶ La boca del justo producirá sabiduría; mas la lengua perversa será cortada.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 10:31
Verse 31. The froward tongue shall be cut out. ] This probably alludes to the punishment of cutting out the tongue for blasphemy, treasonable speeches, profane swearing, or such like. "The tunge of schrewis schal perishen." - Old MS. Bible. Were the tongue of every shrew or scold to be extracted, we should soon have much less noise in the world.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom , etc.] As the earth brings forth its increase, and a tree brings forth its fruit; hence speech is called the fruit of the lips; wisdom is good fruit; a good man is comparable to the fruitful earth, and to a good tree; whose mouth brings forth wise things in abundance, which are very pleasant and profitable; not worldly wisdom, much less devilish; not merely natural wisdom, but spiritual and evangelical; (see Psalm 37:30); but the froward tongue shall be cut out ; or “cut down” f289 ; as an unprofitable tree, which brings forth nothing but perverse things; things contrary to God and good men, to truth and right reason, to the light of nature, the law of God, and Gospel of Christ. Such “a tongue of perversities” f290 , as it may be rendered, that brings forth blasphemies against God, his tabernacle and his saints, as the tongue of antichrist does, deserves to be cut out, as the tongue of a blasphemer.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 31, 32 - A good man discourses wisely for the benefit of others. But it is the sin, and will be the ruin of a wicked man, that he speaks what is displeasing to God, and provoking to those he converses with. The righteous is kept by the power of God; and nothing shall be able to separate him from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus __________________________________________________________________
