Proverbs 26:16

Tree of Life Version

A slacker is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer sensibly.

See the chapter Copy

Do you see one wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than him.

A fool’s way is right in his own eyes, but the wise listen to advice.

Instead sanctify Messiah as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you,

Go to the ant, you slacker— consider its ways and be wise!

Be wise, my son, make my heart glad, so I may answer anyone who taunts me.
