Exegesis
The negated imperfect clause lo yiftach pihu {לֹ֣א יִפְתַּח־פִּֽיהוּ | lōʾ yi(p)-taḥ pî-hû} combines the negative particle lo with the verb and construct object to express inability or prohibition. The parallelism contrasts the abstract image of inaccessible wisdom with the concrete silence of the fool in the communal setting.
In context — Proverbs 24:7
Wisdom is too high for a fool; at the gate he does not open his mouth .
