7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
7 Wisdom is too high for fools; in the assembly at the gate they must not open their mouths.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the gate he does not open his mouth.
7 Wise conversation is way over the head of fools; in a serious discussion they haven't a clue.
7 Wisdom is too lofty for a fool; He does not open his mouth in the gate.
7 Wisdom is too lofty for fools. Among leaders at the city gate, they have nothing to say.

Commentary on Proverbs 24:7-9
(Read Proverbs 24:7-9)
A weak man thinks wisdom is too high for him, therefore he will take no pains for it. It is bad to do evil, but worse to devise it. Even the first risings of sin in the heart are sin, and must be repented of. Those that strive to make others hateful, make themselves so.
