The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Et cor stultorum intelliget scientiam, et lingua balborum velociter loquetur et plane.
Septuagint (Swete)
καὶ ἡ καρδία τῶν ἀσθενούντων προσήξει τοῦ ἀκούειν, καὶ αἱ γλῶσσαι αἱ ψελλίζουσαι ταχὺ μαθήσονται λαλεῖν εἰρήνην·
Hebrew (WLC)
וּלְבַ֥ב נִמְהָרִ֖ים יָבִ֣ין לָדָ֑עַת וּלְשׁ֣וֹן עִלְּגִ֔ים תְּמַהֵ֖ר לְדַבֵּ֥ר צָחֽוֹת

Haydock's commentary

Plain. Some parts of the prediction relate literally to the Old Testament. But this alludes to the New, when the mysteries of religion are clearly confessed in the Catholic Church. (Worthington)

Even the most illiterate are guided with security, if they will but hear the Church. (Haydock)
