Proverbs 13:16 - Exposition

Every prudent man dealeth (worketh, acteth) with knowledge; i.e. with thought and deliberation, having previously well considered the bearings and issues of his plans. But a fool layeth open his folly; Revised Version, spreadeth out folly, as if exposing the wares of his shop ( Proverbs 12:23 ; Proverbs 15:2 ). One works; the other talks.
