Proverbs 14:16
14:16 A wise person is cautious42 and turns from evil,
| 42 | tn Heb “fears.” Since the holy name (Yahweh, translated “the Lord”) is not used, it probably does not here mean fear of the Lord, but of the consequences of actions. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | tn The verb בָּטַח here denotes self-assurance or overconfidence. Fools are not cautious and do not fear the consequences of their actions. |
