Which best expresses her wisdom in speech?

• A. She is known for harsh speech.
• B. She is silent and unseen.
• C. She opens her mouth with wisdom; in her tongue is the law of kindness.
• D. She speaks only of wealth.

Answer: (C)

Wisdom in speech is shown by speaking with discernment and kindness. The best line describes a person who “opens her mouth with wisdom,” meaning her words reveal insight, prudence, and good judgment. The phrase “in her tongue is the law of kindness” emphasizes that what she says is not only wise but also gentle and helpful, shaping her communication with kindness.

This aligns with biblical wisdom literature, where true wisdom isn’t just knowing things but expressing them in a way that blesses others. The other options miss this combination: harsh speech speaks a lack of wisdom in tone, being silent implies not expressing wisdom at all, and focusing on wealth shifts the focus away from the quality of speech.
