The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom and the tongue speaks judgment, meaning wise and right words. This kind of speech is possible because the law of God is in the heart, and that inward law holds the steps firm so they do not slide. It grows out of resting in the Lord and waiting patiently for Him, refusing to fret over evildoers and putting away anger and wrath. It belongs with the meekness that shall inherit the earth and delight itself in abundance of peace.
For those who care for the sick, this calls for having the peace of Christ dwelling in the heart. Then their words and their works will shine as lights in the world, carrying a hallowed influence.
