Proverbs 14:33

Another translation of the second line is, ‘Even fools can hear wisdom.’

The wise person does not only think about wisdom occasionally. He is always thinking about wisdom. He is always learning new things. He loves wisdom. Wisdom is always in his heart and in his mind.

A foolish person hates wisdom. He might hear wise words (Proverbs 8:5; Proverbs 1:20-27). However, a fool will not obey these wise words. A fool does not understand wisdom. He only knows his own foolish ideas.
