“Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.”
The opening question about wisdom's nature and its effect on one's appearance and demeanor suggests that genuine wisdom produces visible changes in a person. The wise person's face may shine or show confidence; wisdom transforms not only thought but also bearing and presence. This verse introduces chapter 8's reflection on wisdom's practical manifestations.
