 The A. V. reads “wisdom” where we have used the literal rendering, “heart.” The word so used is a Hebraism, standing for sound judgment, or common sense. See Proverbs 15:21. To follow after moral probity, and to cleave to understanding, bring true peace and lasting happiness. See Timotheus (2 Tim. 3:14, 15). (Proverbs Nineteen by H.A. Ironside)
