“A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.”
The statement that the wise person's heart inclines to the right, while the fool's heart inclines to the left, uses directional language (right vs. left) to symbolize wisdom's correctness and folly's deviation. The phrase may allude to moral or practical rightness; wisdom orients one properly in navigation through life. This verse suggests that wisdom is directional—it points the way, even though the path proves difficult.
