Proverbs 14:33

14:33 Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning;

it is known even in the heart of fools.


tn The LXX negates the clause, saying it is “not known in fools” (cf. NAB, NRSV, TEV, NLT). Thomas connects the verb to the Arabic root wd` and translates it “in fools it is suppressed.” See D. W. Thomas, “The Root ידע in Hebrew,” JTS 35 (1934): 302-3.

tn Heb “in the inner part”; ASV “in the inward part”; NRSV “in the heart of fools.”
