"Only fools despise this kind of intelligence, Prov 23:9.
Prov 23:9, “Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.”
"Yet, the “man”, ISH, possessing this type of insight from Bible Doctrine in His soul “will be praised”, which is HALAL in the passive Pual and future Imperfect that means, “to flash forth light, to shine, to boast or praise.” In the Pual Imperfect it means, “will be praised or commended.” This is an interesting word because it is used in scripture negatively for boastfulness, arrogance, etc. It is also the root word for Lucifer, “star of the morning” HEYLEL in Isa 14:12, whose arrogance regarding his God given beauty, intelligence and power lead him to rebellion against God. Yet, used positively, as it is here, it means to praise someone. So interestingly, what the wicked desire most because of their arrogance, (praise from others), the righteous will actually receive without desiring or seeking for it, as a result of their humility.
As Prov 27:2, says, “Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.” Cf. Prov 31:30-31 for the praise of the righteous woman. Therefore, it tells us of the blessing the righteous believer will receive from having wisdom and insight that comes from the right application of Bible Doctrine in your soul; they will win praise from others.
The Contrast! – The discipline, “But one of perverse mind will be despised.” “One of perverse mind” is AWAH for “to do wrong, or transgress” and LEB for “heart.” Here we see that this person’s heart, (right lobe of their soul), is wrong, sinful or perverted, meaning they do not have wisdom and insight from Bible Doctrine stored in the heart of their soul, and therefore have sin and evil resident in their soul with built up scare tissue on their soul. This person is led not by the Word of God and the filling of the Holy Spirit, but by their sin nature, feelings and emotions." -Rickard
