Proverbs 3:12-14
Evangelical Heritage Version
Proverbs 3:12-14
Evangelical Heritage Version
12 because the Lord warns[a] the one he loves
as a father warns a son with whom he is pleased.
13 How blessed is the person who finds wisdom,[b]
the person who acquires understanding,
14 because the profit it gives is better than the profit from silver,
and its yield is better than gold!
Footnotes
- Proverbs 3:12 Or disciplines
- Proverbs 3:13 Or Wisdom. An issue throughout Proverbs 1-9 is when wisdom should be capitalized as the personal name of Lady Wisdom and when it is the common noun. Most translations do not capitalize wisdom in verses like verse 13 because of the parallelism with understanding. This decision also determines whether the English pronouns should be she or it. In Hebrew the noun for wisdom is feminine, so the pronouns in Hebrew are always feminine.
