Footnotes

  1. 18 Heb “in your own eyes” (so , , ); “Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.”
  2. 19 The second colon clarifies the first. If one fears the Lord and turns away from evil, then he is depending on the Lord and not wise in his own eyes. There is a higher source of wisdom than human insight.
