to bubble
na.va describes something issuing forth, especially an outpouring of speech, praise, or sayings, and also bubbling liquid or water imagery.
The attested usage most often depicts words, praise, wisdom, or folly coming forth in an abundant verbal outflow; it also occurs in imagery of bubbling water and in the physical effect of oil bubbling. In Psalm 19:3 and Psalm 59:8, the APB’s loose wording does not clearly isolate the term’s contribution.

Bubbling water imagery · occasional
In Proverbs 18:4, the Qal active participle occurs in the saying that compares a man’s words with “deep waters” and “a bubbling torrent”; the APB presents the image alongside “a fountain of wisdom.”

In Ecclesiastes 10:1, the Hiphil imperfect appears in the clause about dead flies affecting perfumer’s oil; the APB renders the result as making the oil “stink and bubble.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB variously uses “bubble,” “pours out,” “pour forth,” and “utter” in clauses where the term occurs. In Psalm 19:3 and Psalm 59:8, its whole-verse wording does not make a specific English correspondence clear.
