HEAR Journaling Proverbs Chapter 26
The Book of Wisdom
Highlight - Proverbs Chapter 26 New Living Translation (NLT)
4 Don’t answer the foolish arguments of fools, or you will become as foolish as they are.
5 Be sure to answer the foolish arguments of fools, or they will become wise in their own estimation.
Explain – Verse four seems to be a contradiction with verse 5, so I checked with some other translations to compare for some insight:
New King James Version (NKJV)
4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Lest you also be like him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in his own eyes.
Amplified Bible (AMP)
4 Do not answer [nor pretend to agree with the frivolous comments of] a [closed-minded] fool according to his folly, Otherwise you, even you, will be like him.
5 Answer [and correct the erroneous concepts of] a fool according to his folly, Otherwise he will be wise in his own eyes [if he thinks you agree with him].
The Amplified Bible version helps me understand as the Holy Spirit leads me to His truth, we are to not agree, nor pretend to agree, with a fool in his folly, but should rightly correct the fool.
Apply – We need to apply this with the wisdom that can only come from the Holy Spirit. We must abide in Him, and He will direct our every path. Should He direct us to talk with a fool, He will provide the wisdom and direction for our responses with a fool. We should not mock a fool by agreeing with foolishness, nor contend with an argument but by His direction.
Respond – Lord I seek to abide in You as You abide in me, help me to be faithfully obedient to Your direction when talking with lost people.
