Proverbs 12:15

but the one who listens to advice is wise. ⁴

[12:15]  ² sn The fool believes that his own plans and ideas are perfect or “right” (יָשָׁר, yashar); he is satisfied with his own opinion.

[12:15]  ³ tn Heb “in his own eyes.”

[12:15]  ⁴ tn Or “a wise person listens to advice” (cf. NIV, NRSV, TEV, CEV, NLT).
