Proverbs 14:33 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Omit “that which is.” “Wisdom” is the subject of both clauses. She is “made nown,” i. e., by the very force of contrast, in the midst of fools; or she is reserved and reticent in the one, noisy and boastful in the other. The Septuagint and some other versions get over the difficulty, by reading “Wisdom is not made known.”

Proverbs 14:33

33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
