Bible Question:
Hi all, Is this the Scriptural basis for haggling with street paddlers to get a good bargain? ;-) This one pop out of no where, does anyone have any insight on it? Peace, Pepper |
Bible Answer: 14 It's no good, it's no good says the buyer then off he goes and boasts about his purchase. 15 Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel. I think it is talking about how plentiful are the loud mouths like this one that put things down, then buy cheap (steal) - and yet lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel. (more rare than gold or rubies). |
