Proverbs 1:25

Context

1:25 because 1  you neglected 2  all my advice,

and did not comply 3  with my rebuke,

Proverbs 1:30

Context

1:30 they did not comply with my advice,

they spurned 4  all my rebuke.

1 tn Heb “and.”

2 tn The verb III פָּרַע means “to let go; to let alone” (BDB 828 s.v.). It can refer to unkempt hair of the head (Lev 10:6) or lack of moral restraint: “to let things run free” (Exod 32:25; Prov 28:19). Here it means “to avoid, neglect” the offer of wisdom (BDB 829 s.v. 2).

3 tn The verbs are characteristic perfects or indefinite pasts. For the word “comply, consent,” see 1:20.

4 tn The verb “spurned” (נָאַץ, naats) is parallel to “comply, accede to, be willing” (e.g., 1:10). This is how the morally stubborn fool acts (e.g., 15:5).
