NET © Notes

tn Heb “ear” (so KJV, NRSV). The term “ear” is a synecdoche of part (= ear) for the whole (= person).

tn “Life” is an objective genitive: Reproof brings or preserves life. Cf. NIV “life-giving rebuke”; NLT “constructive criticism.”

tn Heb “lodges.” This means to live with, to be at home with.

sn The proverb is one full sentence; it affirms that a teachable person is among the wise.
