Proverbs 14:33 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Resteth; is laid up and hid there, and not vainly nor rashly uttered by him, but only upon necessary or fit occasions. In the midst, i.e. in the heart, which is expressed by this very word, Psalms 64:6, and elsewhere. That folly which is there instead of wisdom; or, that small degree of wisdom or knowledge which they have. Is made known; they will publish it in all times and companies, without any consideration or discretion.

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.
