Gill's Notes on the Bible
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" x; it is full of folly and wickedness: or "the heart of the foolish [does] not [disperse that which is] right" y; true and right things, and the knowledge of them; but, on the contrary, as in Proverbs 15:2, "pours out foolishness".
x ×× ×× "non erit rectum", Pagninus, Baynus; "non est rectum", Piscator, Mercerus. y "Spargit quod abest a recto", Junius Tremellius, Amama "eventilant non rectum", Schultens, Cocceius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Not so - The word translated âsoâ is taken by some in its etymological force as âstrong,â âfirm,â and the passage is rendered âthe heart of the fool disperseth (supplied from the first clause) what is weak and unsteady,â i. e., âfalsehood and unwisdom.â The Septuagint takes it as an adjective, âthe heart of the fool is unstedfast.â The phrase as it stands in the King James Version is, however, of frequent occurrence Genesis 48:18; Exodus 10:11; Numbers 12:7.
