Proverbs 12:18
There is that speaketh - Instead of boteh , blabbing out, blustering, several MSS. have boteach , Trusting: and instead of kemadkeroth , As the piercings, seven MSS., with the Complutensian Polyglot, have bemadkeroth , In the piercings. "There is that trusteth in the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health." But I suppose the former to be the true reading.
