Proverbs 18:4
The words of a man's mouth are deep waters; The fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.
Deep waters, fountain of wisdom, a bubbling brook. Don't let those three words pictures esquape your minds. From your mouth should flow the wisdom of God. A well-spring of wisdom as deep as deep waters, flowing and abundant like a fountain, fresh and clean as a bubbling brook.
Matthew Henry says "to be an intelligent knowing man has in him a good treasure of useful things, which furnishes him with something to say upon all occasions that is pertinent and profitable". Words that make no noise, but never run dry. Our words should be pertinent and profitable.
Wisdom comes from God, from studyng the Bible, from listening to wise men, and from reading wise men. It also comes from experience and from watching wise men.
Proverbs 18:15
The mind of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. My beloveds, seek after knowledge, wisdom and unerstanding, that you may have something to say upon all occasions for His glory.
