Proverbs 14:33

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

it is known ¹  even in the heart ²  of fools.

[14:33]  ¹ 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.

[14:33]  ² tn Heb “in the inner part”; ASV “in the inward part”; NRSV “in the heart of fools.”
