I think that on more than one occasion, I have muttered the phrase, “From out of the mouths of babes.”
This phrase is typically meant to indicate that someone (usually a child) has said something profound by articulating some tidbit of wisdom that is considered well beyond their years of education and experience.
I was not privy to the origin of this expression, so I was a bit surprised to read that it is a quote from the Bible. I rarely (about as often as I choose to eat a Carolina Reaper – look it up) pick up the King James Version. This completely explains why I was uninformed as to this translation of Psalm 8:2.
But sure enough, that’s exactly what it says – exactly!
