Proverbs 13:10

Context

13:10 With pride 1  comes only 2  contention,

but wisdom is with the well-advised. 3 

1 sn The parallelism suggests pride here means contempt for the opinions of others. The wise listen to advice rather than argue out of stubborn pride.

2 tn The particle רַק (raq, “only”) modifies the noun “contention” – only contention can come from such a person.

3 tn The Niphal of יָעַץ (yaats, “to advise; to counsel”) means “to consult together; to take counsel.” It means being well-advised, receiving advice or consultation (cf. NCV “those who take advice are wise”).
