Exegesis
The Hiphil imperfect yabia {יַבִּיעַ | yaḇ-îaʿ} ‘pours forth’ and the noun ivvelet {אִוֶּלֶת | ʾi-wel-eṯ} ‘folly’ evoke vivid imagery of an outpouring. This chiastic pattern between wise/fools and uses/pours forth underscores the moral contrast.
In context — Proverbs 15:2
The tongue of the wise uses knowledge well, but the mouth of fools pours out folly .
