“The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools. shall be: Heb. exalteth the fools”
Proverbs 3:35 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 3:35
The wise inherit glory but fools promote shame. The Hebrew 'nachal' (inherit) suggests receiving rather than earning - glory comes as inheritance to the wise. 'Qalon' (shame/disgrace) is what fools receive or display. This verse promises ultimate vindication for the wise and ultimate exposure for fools. While fools may temporarily appear successful, their end is disgrace; while the wise may suffer temporarily, their end is honor.
