Bonaventure, on Prov 1:5
Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Prov 1:5 · Douay-Rheims
“A wise man shall hear and shall be wiser: and he that understandeth, shall possess governments.”
On this verse:
“"The wise man hearing shall be wiser, and the one who understands shall possess counsels." In the second word Solomon shows that it is useful to hear the word of God; and the reason is that in the hearing of the word of God both he who understands profits, and likewise he who does not understand: therefore both the wise and the simple ought to go to hear the word of God. That the wise profit by hearing the word of God is clear, because he says that the wise man hearing wisdom shall be wiser.”
