17 I will shew thee, heare me, and that which I haue seene, I wil declare, 18 Which wise men haue tolde from their fathers, and haue not hid it: 19 Unto whom alone the earth was giuen, and no stranger passed among them. 20 The wicked man trauaileth with paine all his dayes, and the number of yeeres is hidden to the oppressour. 21 A dreadfull sound is in his eares; in prosperitie the destroyer shall come vpon him. 22 He beleeueth not that he shall returne out of darkenesse, and he is waited for, of the sword. 23 He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkenes is ready at his hand. 24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall preuaile against him, as a king ready to the battell. 25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himselfe against the Almightie. 26 He runneth vpon him, euen on his necke, vpon the thicke bosses of his bucklers:

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Which wise men have told from their fathers,.... Men wise in the best sense, not to do evil, but to do good; not worldly wise men, but such who have wisdom, sound wisdom in the inward parts; who are wise to salvation, and who are partakers of divine and spiritual wisdom; and such men, as they would never tell an untruth, so they would never report a false or a foolish thing they had heard, nor any thing but upon a good testimony, what they have received from their fathers, who were also wise and good men; and therefore such a testimony, though not ocular, but by tradition, deserves regard:
and have not hid [it]; their fathers did not hide it from them, and what they have received from their fathers they did not hide it from their children; and so it came to be handed down from one to another with great truth, exactness, and certainty, and to be depended upon, see Psalms 44:1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Which wise men have told from their fathers - Which they have received from their ancestors and communicated to others. Knowledge among the ancients was communicated chiefly by tradition from father to son. They had few or no written records, and hence, they embodied the results of their observation in brief, sententious maxims, and transmitted them from one generation to another.
And have not hid it - They have freely communicated the result of their observations to others.
