“The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.”
Proverbs 15:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 15:7
The 'lips of the wise disperse knowledge,' but 'the heart of the foolish doeth not so.' Hebrew 'zarah' (disperse/scatter) suggests generosity and wide distribution, like a farmer sowing seed. The wise don't hoard knowledge but share it liberally. Meanwhile, fools lack the knowledge to disperse and the generosity to share what they have. Reformed theology values the teaching office and the responsibility of those who know truth to instruct others. Knowledge is not for personal elevation but for building up the body of Christ and blessing others.
