KJV ORIGINAL
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
A good person pulls good things from the good stuff stored up in their heart, and a bad person brings out bad things from all the bad stuff they've got inside. Because whatever's filling up your heart is going to come spilling out of your mouth.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Your words are basically your heart's overflow — whatever you're full of is what's going to come out.
