In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has—a contrast between the wise person's planning and accumulation versus the fool's consumption; the wise person's household is secure while the fool's household is precarious. The phrase 'stores of choice food and oil' suggests intentional preservation and investment. The theological significance involves the principle that wisdom expresses itself in practical preparation.
