Wisdom of the prudent
(Verses 8 and 33 in chapter 14 of Proverbs are clubbed together).
The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit (Proverbs 14:8).If you are a person of prudence with wisdom, you can easily understand the way of the foolish. The wisdom is with the prudence and not with the foolish. We should understand the way of the foolish. Though we should go from the presence of a foolish man as mentioned in the preceding verse, we should understand their ways.But the folly of fools is deceit. The fools face deceit in their lives and also deceive others. It is their folly that is responsible for deceit. Let us understand the folly of fools known for deceit.
Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known (Proverbs 14:33).
He or she who understands God and His righteousness gets wisdom from above. But the fools who do not believe in God are known by their presence in our midst. There are many atheists who are rich or being highly educated in this world but in our midst their folly of not believing in God is known. The end of many atheists is recorded in the human history.
