Bible Note: Hello INRI, Welcome to the Forum! Will you please be more specific as to your point in quoting Proverbs 26:4-5. How does your quote fit into the discussion and what do you mean by "I always liked this one because they are side by side." Because I am on my lunch break at work I will offer a brief thought. I will check to see if you have responded when I get home this evening. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but in the context of the thread you seem as eager to assume contradiction in Scripture as another here does. Furthermore, if that was your point, the fact that you "like this one" is very troubling to me. With that said, I can appreciate how an unskilled reader, without the benefit of context and a base understanding of God's word might see verses 4 and 5 here as being contradictory. Perhapse if you read the same verses in a different translation you might get the point of them. Prov 26:4-5 (NASB) 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. If you still need help in understanding these great words of wisdom, please respond and I will coach you along on it. God bless, Jeff |
