SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:24
¶ En el rostro del entendido aparece la sabiduría; mas los ojos del loco manifiestan su locura hasta el cabo de la tierra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 17:24
Verse 24. Are in the ends of the earth. ] Wisdom is within the sight and reach at every man: but he whose desires are scattered abroad, who is always aiming at impossible things, or is of an unsteady disposition, is not likely to find it.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. Wisdom [is] before him that hath understanding , etc.] Is near him, to direct and assist him; it is before him as a rule to walk by, and it is the mark he aims at. A man of spiritual understanding has the book of wisdom before him, the Scriptures of truth, which are able to make a man wise to salvation; and he steers his course according to them; he sets Christ, the Wisdom of God, always before him; and keeps his eye on the mark for the prize, all the while he is running his Christian race: or, “in the face of an understanding man is wisdom” f507 ; it is to be seen in his countenance, which is grave and composed; but the eyes of a fool [are] in the ends of the earth ; where wisdom is not to be found, it is far off from him; his mind is wandering after every object, is unsettled and unfixed to anything; and which may be discerned in his eyes, which are rolling about and turning, first one way and then another; and which shows the levity and inconstancy of his mind.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24 - The prudent man keeps the word of God continually in view. But the foolish man cannot fix his thoughts, nor pursue any purpose with steadiness.
