Bible Question: Can someone explain how Proverbs 26:4 and 5 are not contradicting each other? |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Pro 3:7, 23:9, 26:4-5 ... 4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will also be like him. 5 Answer a fool as his folly deserves, that he not be wise in his own eyes. Angel's Mom, greetings Verse 4 means we are not to stoop to his level (23:9) by being fool like ... and verse 5 says we need to expose fools as not being wise. We are never to be wise in our own eyes (3:7). So there is no contradiction. In fact, I see the verses supporting each other. Searcher |
