AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 18:9 He who is careless in his work Is a brother to him who destroys. |
Bible Question: what are your thoughts on proverbs 18:9 as written in the amplified bible? |
Bible Answer: Hello yecats, Perhaps someone with more time and better understanding of the Hebrew can comment? Anyway, Here are couple other translations- NKJV reads: "He who is slothful in his work Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer." The NASB reads: "He also who is slack in his work Is brother to him who destroys." Here's the Amplified: "He who is loose and slack in his work is brother to him who is a destroyer [and he who does not use his endeavors to heal himself is brother to him who commits suicide]." The words in brackets in the Amplified are not in the original text but are supplied by the translator(s) in an attempt to better convey the thought expressed. They are more akin to a commentary. I hope this helps, BradK |
