Spreuken 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".

Spreuken 15:7 In-Context

5 Een dwaas zal de tucht zijns vaders versmaden; maar die de bestraffing waarneemt, zal kloekzinniglijk handelen.
6 In het huis des rechtvaardigen is een grote schat; maar in des goddelozen inkomst is beroerte.
7 De lippen der wijzen zullen de wetenschap uitstrooien; maar het hart der zotten niet alzo.
8 Het offer der goddelozen is den HEERE een gruwel; maar het gebed der oprechten is Zijn welgevallen.
9 De weg der goddelozen is den HEERE een gruwel; maar dien, die de gerechtigheid najaagt, zal Hij liefhebben.
