Commentary on Proverbs 24:7

Theological / Devotional

Wisdom is too high. The fool finds wisdom above his head. His actions are not dictated by reason but by desire. When wise men gather in the gate of the city (see on ch. 22:22) to discuss public matters, he has nothing to contribute. The considerations that guide men of understanding are beyond his intelligence, and he has no desire to increase his wisdom so that these considerations will become intelligible, because he has no intention of becoming good (see Ps. 10:4, 5).
