7 Le labbra de’ savi spandono scienza; Ma non fa già così il cuor degli stolti.

Proverbi 15:7 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 15:7

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge
Scatter it about for the benefit of others; they are communicative and diffusive of it unto others, that fruit may abound to their account: so the first ministers of the Gospel diffused the savour of the knowledge of Christ and his Gospel in every place; their words went into all the earth, and their sound to the end of the world; and so every Gospel minister will speak according to the oracles of God, and according to the abilities and measure of the gift which he has received; and to the utmost of his power feeds souls with knowledge and understanding; but the heart of the foolish [doth] not so;
does not disperse knowledge, for he has no solid substantial knowledge in him: or, "the heart of the foolish [is] not right" F24; it is full of folly and wickedness: or "the heart of the foolish [does] not [disperse that which is] right" F25; true and right things, and the knowledge of them; but, on the contrary, as in ( Proverbs 15:2 ) , "pours out foolishness".

Proverbi 15:7 In-Context

5 Lo stolto disdegna la correzion di suo padre; Ma chi osserva la riprensione diventerà avveduto.
6 Nella casa del giusto vi sono di gran facoltà; Ma vi è dissipazione nell’entrate dell’empio.
7 Le labbra de’ savi spandono scienza; Ma non fa già così il cuor degli stolti.
8 Il sacrificio degli empi è cosa abbominevole al Signore; Ma l’orazione degli uomini diritti gli è cosa grata.
9 La via dell’empio è cosa abbominevole al Signore; Ma egli ama chi procaccia giustizia.
