Bible Question: Can you explain Proverbs 9:9 |
Bible Answer: 'Give to a wise man, and he will be still wiser, teach a righteous man and he will increase in learnihg.' 'Give' parallels 'teach' and therefore indicates giving instruction or giving wisdom. The point is that a truly wise man will pay heed to instruction.And that a righteous man will listen to teaching, and learn from it. The pigheaded man and the foolish and the unrighteous go their own way and do not listen to anyone unless it suits them. They do not want to know anything that disagrees with their views. |
