¹⁷ "I will show you, listen to me; That which I have seen I will declare: ¹⁸ (Which wise men have told From their fathers, and have not hidden it; ¹⁹ To whom alone the land was given, And no stranger passed among them): ²⁰ The wicked man travails with pain all his days, Even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor. ²¹ A sound of terrors is in his ears; In prosperity the destroyer shall come on him. ²² He doesn't believe that he shall return out of darkness, He is waited for by the sword. ²³ He wanders abroad for bread, saying, 'Where is it?' He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. ²⁴ Distress and anguish make him afraid; They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle. ²⁵ Because he has stretched out his hand against God, And behaves himself proudly against Shaddai; ²⁶ He runs at him with a stiff neck, With the thick shields of his bucklers;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Which wise men have told from their fathers,.... Men wise in the best sense, not to do evil, but to do good; not worldly wise men, but such who have wisdom, sound wisdom in the inward parts; who are wise to salvation, and who are partakers of divine and spiritual wisdom; and such men, as they would never tell an untruth, so they would never report a false or a foolish thing they had heard, nor any thing but upon a good testimony, what they have received from their fathers, who were also wise and good men; and therefore such a testimony, though not ocular, but by tradition, deserves regard:

and have not hid [it]; their fathers did not hide it from them, and what they have received from their fathers they did not hide it from their children; and so it came to be handed down from one to another with great truth, exactness, and certainty, and to be depended upon, see Psalms 44:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Which wise men have told from their fathers - Which they have received from their ancestors and communicated to others. Knowledge among the ancients was communicated chiefly by tradition from father to son. They had few or no written records, and hence, they embodied the results of their observation in brief, sententious maxims, and transmitted them from one generation to another.

And have not hid it - They have freely communicated the result of their observations to others.
