SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:14
¶ Los sabios guardan la sabiduría; mas la boca del loco es calamidad cercana.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 10:14
Verse 14. Wise men lay up knowledge ] They keep secret every thing that has a tendency to disturb domestic or public peace; but the foolish man blabs all out, and produces much mischief. Think much, speak little, and always think before you speak. This will promote your own peace and that of your neighbour.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. Wise [men] lay up knowledge , etc.] Which they get by reading, prayer, meditation, hearing the word of God, and conversation with good men: this they lay up in their hearts, minds, and memories, that they may not forget it, and as a rich treasure they highly value it; that they may bring it forth at proper times, and on proper occasions, for the benefit of others; (see Matthew 12:35 13:52); or hide it; conceal it; do not boast and brag of it, as foolish men do; but the mouth of the foolish [is] near destruction : who rashly and unguardedly utters things which bring swift and sudden destruction on himself and others; or terror and consternation, as the word also signifies. The Vulgate Latin version is, “but the mouth of the foolish is near to confusion”; he boasts of his knowledge, betrays his ignorance, and so brings himself to shame and confusion.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14 - Whatever knowledge may be useful, we must lay it up, that it may not be to seek when we want it. The wise gain this wisdom by reading, by hearing the word, by meditation, by prayer, by faith in Christ, who is made of God unto us wisdom.
