Gill's Notes on the Bible

The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth,.... That is, a man that is wise in heart, as in Proverbs 16:21; his heart will teach his mouth what to say, when to say it, and before whom; it will prompt him to matter, that he shall not be at a loss what to say, nor how to say; it will furnish him with words and things; out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh, Matthew 12:34;

and addeth learning to his lips: so that he does not deliver out mere words, but solid learning along with them, instructive to himself and others. The Targum is,

"and by his lips he addeth doctrine;''

or increases knowledge.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 16:23. The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth — He has a wise heart; he speaks as it dictates; and therefore his speeches are all speeches of wisdom.
