"Judicious"
“Judicious” means having or showing good judgment, being wise and careful in making decisions.
In the context of Proverbs 16:23 (“The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious”), it means speaking thoughtfully—choosing words that are:
- Wise (based on truth and understanding)
- Careful (not reckless or hurtful)
- Purposeful (aimed at good outcomes)
So, a judicious person doesn’t just say whatever comes to mind—they think about whether their words will help, heal, or guide.
Would you like me to give you a few practical examples of what “judicious speech” looks like in everyday life? Or help you write a short reflection on how to apply this in your writing and conversations?
