Proverbs10:14
14. Wise men lay up knowledg : but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction .
To wit, in their minds and memories, to be brought forth thence upon fit occasions.
Whereby they may be enabled to speak both what, and when it is seasonable, for their own or others good.
Fools are more forward to lay out than to lay up, and for want of knowledge speak much and foolishly, whereby they frequently bring destruction upon themselves.
