2 Samuel 17:24

17:24 Meanwhile David had gone to Mahanaim, while Absalom and all the men of Israel had crossed the Jordan River.

Proverbs 27:12

27:12 A shrewd person sees danger and hides himself,

but the naive keep right on going ¹  and suffer for it.

Matthew 10:16

Persecution of Disciples

10:16 “I ²  am sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves, ³  so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

[27:12]  ¹ tn Heb “go on”; the word “right” is supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning: The naive person, oblivious to impending danger, meets it head on.

[10:16]  ² tn Grk “Behold I.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[10:16]  ³ sn This imagery of wolves is found in intertestamental Judaism; see Pss. Sol. 8:23, 30.
