Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Pro 13:10

¹ sn The parallelism suggests pride here means contempt for the opinions of others. The wise listen to advice rather than argue out of stubborn pride.

² tn The particle רַק (raq, “only”) modifies the noun “contention” – only contention can come from such a person.

³ tn The Niphal of יָעַץ (ya’ats, “to advise; to counsel”) means “to consult together; to take counsel.” It means being well-advised, receiving advice or consultation (cf. NCV “those who take advice are wise”).
