God's IQ Test (The Talking Dumb)

The source of our sinful speech is a saltwater pool underground (a defiled heart). A salt spring can’t produce fresh water, which means our “praise” is not real praise if we have unrepentant cursing of one another. True wisdom is first and foremost ethical (the smartest way to live is in righteousness, and the dumbest way to live is in sin). God’s IQ test is shown, not spoken. It is seen in humble living. But earthly wisdom is characterized by pride and hostility, resulting in chaos in relationships. The solution is cleansing of your “pool” through humble repentance.
