THIS HAS GREAT RESOURCES FOR BIBLE STUDY.
Proverbs 20:5 in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible reads:
"Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out."
This proverb uses a metaphor to convey its meaning. Let's break it down:
1. "Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water": This suggests that the thoughts, wisdom, and intentions in a person's heart are like deep water - not easily accessible or immediately visible on the surface.
2. "But a man of understanding will draw it out": This indicates that a person with insight and wisdom (understanding) can extract or uncover these deep thoughts and counsel from others.
The overall meaning of this proverb is that true wisdom and good advice often lie deep within a person, not immediately apparent. It takes skill, patience, and understanding to draw out these valuable insights from others. This proverb emphasizes the importance of:
1. Careful listening and observation
2. Asking thoughtful questions
3. Having the wisdom to recognize valuable counsel
4. The skill of encouraging others to share their deeper thoughts and wisdom
It also implies that there's often more to people than what's immediately apparent, and that it's worthwhile to invest time and effort in understanding others deeply.
