They will teach thee." utter words —more than mere speaking; "put forth well-considered words." out of their heart —from observation and reflection; not merely, from their mouth: such, as Bildad insinuates, were Job's words. :- embody in poetic and sententious form (probably the fragment of an old poem) the observation of the elders.
