Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
The ear tries and distinguishes words just as the mouth tastes its food. What is heard is therefore to be tested and judged rather than merely received as sound. Words are to be weighed by hearing in the same way food is proved by taste, with discernment applied to each. Hearing itself calls for active assessment of what is spoken, not passive acceptance without examination.
