Footnotes

  1. 32 The parallelism suggests pride here means contempt for the opinions of others. The wise listen to advice rather than argue out of stubborn pride.
  2. 33 The particle רַק (raq, “only”) modifies the noun “contention”—only contention can come from such a person.
  3. 34 The Niphal of יָעַץ (ya’ats, “to advise; to counsel”) means “to consult together; to take counsel.” It means being well-advised, receiving advice or consultation (cf. “those who take advice are wise”).
