| NET © Notes |
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 (ya’ats, “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”). |
