Proverbi 18:4 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 18:4

The words of a man's mouth [are as] deep waters
The words of a great and mighty man; of an excellent and valuable man, as Jarchi; or of a wise man, as Aben Ezra. The doctrines which such a man has imbibed, and his heart is full of and his mouth utters, are like to "waters", pure, purifying, and refreshing; to "deep waters", which make no noise, and cannot be easily fathomed: such are the deep mysteries of grace, the wisdom of God in a mystery, spoken among them that are perfect; of which a good man makes no boast, but humbly declares; out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth speaks; [and] the wellspring of wisdom [as] a flowing brook;
there is a spring of spiritual wisdom and knowledge in him; a well of living water, springing up unto everlasting life; and from thence it flows freely and constantly; communicating itself liberally unto others, and ministering grace to the hearers, for their edification.

Proverbi 18:4 In-Context

2 Lo stolto non si diletta nella prudenza, Ma in ciò che il cuor suo si manifesti.
3 Quando viene un empio, viene anche lo sprezzo, E il vituperio con ignominia.
4 Le parole della bocca dell’uomo eccellente sono acque profonde; La fonte di sapienza è un torrente che sgorga.
5 Egli non è bene d’aver riguardo alla qualità dell’empio, Per far torto al giusto nel giudicio.
6 Le labbra dello stolto entrano in contesa, E la sua bocca chiama le percosse.
