Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but [that which is] in the midst of fools is made known.
Proverbs 14:33 — KJV
Resteth. The verse may be paraphrased thus: "Wisdom abides quietly in the inner part of the wise man, but fools loudly advertise what little wisdom is within them." The LXX avoids the difficulty of assigning wisdom to the fool by rendering the second clause, "but in the heart of fools it [wisdom] is not discerned."
