Exegesis
The construct chain of siftei {שִׂפְתֵי | ṣîp̄-tê} ‘lips’ with chakamim {חֲכָמִים | ḥa-ḵa-mîm} ‘wise persons’ serves as the first subject, followed by yezarû {יְזָרוּ | yᵉ-zā-rû} ‘scatter’, expressing habitual dissemination directed toward daʿat {דָּעַת | dā-ʿaṯ} ‘knowledge’.
In context — Proverbs 15:7
The lips of the wise will disperse knowledge, but the heart of fools does not do so.
