Wisdom, Book of Proverbs


On the countenance of a discerning person is wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

+ Proverbs 17, 24

[17:24] Wisdom is visible on the countenance (i.e., mouth, lips, tongue) of the wise person; its ultimate source is the heart. Fools have no such source of wisdom within them, a point that is nicely made by referring to the eye of the fool, roving over the landscape.

슬기로운 이는 제 앞에 지혜를 두고 살지만 우둔한 자의 눈은 땅 끝에 가 있다.

+ 구약성경 잠언 17, 24
