Proverbs - 15:14 Meaning

“The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

15:14-15 A wise man seeks to gain more wisdom, growing in grace and in the knowledge of Christ. But a carnal mind rests contented, flattering itself. 15. Some are much in affliction, and of a sorrowful spirit. Such are to be pitied, prayed for, and comforted. And others serve God with gladness of heart, and it prompts their obedience, yet they should rejoice with trembling.
