Sirach 32:18
A well-advised person won’t overlook an intelligent thought; the stranger and the arrogant won’t cower out of fear.
He that feareth the Lord, will receive his discipline: and they that will seek him early, shall find a blessing.
Sensible people will consider every opinion, but arrogant people will let nothing stand in their way.
The sensible will not neglect direction; the proud and insolent are deterred by no fear.
A man who is sensible will never ignore reasonable counsel, whereas an arrogant and godless man will not be deterred by anything.
A sensible person will not overlook a thoughtful suggestion; an insolent and proud person will not be deterred by fear.
A sensible person will not overlook a thoughtful suggestion; an insolent and proud person will not be deterred by fear.
A sensible person will not overlook a thoughtful suggestion; an insolent and proud person will not be deterred by fear.
A sensible person will not overlook a thoughtful suggestion; an insolent and proud person will not be deterred by fear.
A man of judgment will not overlook an idea, and an insolent and proud man will not cower in fear.
A man of judgment will not overlook an idea, and an insolent and proud man will not cower in fear.
A man of counsel shall not lose understanding; (but) a man alien and proud shall not dread dreading. Yea, after that he hath done with that dread without counsel, and he shall be reproved by his (pur)suings. [A man of counsel shall not destroy understanding; and an alien and a proud shall not full(y) dread dread. Also after that he did with him without counsel, and in his followings he shall be reproved.]
