A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 18 of Proverbs. The chapter begins with a warning against the selfish isolation of one who seeks only to satisfy his own desire and rejects wisdom. The fool does not desire understanding, but rather to express his own opinion. The words of a gossip are compared to morsels that penetrate deeply. The teaching therefore identifies a common root between isolation, stubborn opinion, and irresponsible dissemination of information.

Ein Narr hat nicht Lust am Verstand, sondern kundzutun, was in seinem Herzen steckt.
No toma placer el necio en la inteligencia, Sino en lo que su corazón se descubre.
Ce n'est pas à l'intelligence que l'insensé prend plaisir, C'est à la manifestation de ses pensées.
Lo stolto non si diletta nella prudenza, Ma in ciò che il cuor suo si manifesti
O tolo não tem prazer na sabedoria, mas só em que se manifeste aquilo que agrada o seu coração.
愚昧人不喜愛聰明, 只喜愛表達自己的心意。
