Footnotes
- 44 Heb “returns a word”; “He that answereth a matter.”
- 45 Poor listening and premature answering indicate that the person has a low regard for what the other is saying, or that he is too absorbed in his own ideas. The lists this as the second characteristic of the uncultured person ( Avot 5:7).
- 46 Heb “it is folly to him and shame.” The verse uses formal parallelism, with the second colon simply completing the thought of the first.
