Marianne and Cameron in Redman’s pool
I’ve been sewing all day. I’ll post a couple Proverbs of Solomon. It is Sunday after all.
Proverbs 10:8-9 (Young’s Literal Translation)
The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool kicketh.
Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And whoso is perverting his ways is known.
I wonder why Young’s Literal translation uses the “eth” form of the verbs. And the Whosos? I rather like the “kicketh.” None of the other translations I saw used anything half so colorful.
Anyway, I’m not so wise in heart. I really do have a hard time doing what I’m told. I certainly qualify as the talkative fool often. The “interim study” in the Sunday school class has been on Wisdom literature… Job, Ecclesiastes, Proverbs. We spent a bit of time talking last Sunday and this about integrity. It really doesn’t seem a hard concept to me. It does seem fairly rare…a man of integrity is unusual for sure. Or maybe I’m just cynical, and think everyone has ulterior motives.
I’ve loaded my system with antibiotics (bladder infection), it’s time to find my bunk.
