Who is wise — There are few wise men in this world. Who knoweth — How few understand the reasons of things and can rightly expound the word and works of God. Wisdom — Makes a man venerable, chearful, mild, and amiable. The face is put for the mind, because the mind discovers itself in the countenance. Boldness — The roughness or fierceness. Changed — Into gentleness and humility.
