Psalms 112:5

112:5 It goes well for the one ¹  who generously lends money,

and conducts his business honestly. ² 

Proverbs 13:10

13:10 With pride ³  comes only ⁴  contention,

but wisdom is with the well-advised. ⁵ 

[112:5]  ¹ tn Heb “man.”

[112:5]  ² tn Heb “he sustains his matters with justice.”

[13:10]  ³ 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.

[13:10]  ⁴ tn The particle רַק (raq, “only”) modifies the noun “contention” – only contention can come from such a person.

[13:10]  ⁵ 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”).
