Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 15. - The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; i.e. in his own judgment (Proverbs 3:7: 16:2). The second clause is best translated, as in the Revised Version, "But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel," distrusting his own unaided judgment, which might lead him astray (Proverbs 13:10; Proverbs 14:12; Proverbs 16:25; Proverbs 21:2; comp. Ecclus. 35:19; Tobit 4:18). Theognis, 221, etc. - Ὅς τις τοι δοκέει τὸν πλησίον ἴδμεναι οὐδὲνἈλλ αὐτὸς μοῦνος ποικίλα δήνε ἔχεινΚεῖνός γ ἄφρων ἐστὶ νόου βεβλαμμένος ἐσθλοῦἼσως γὰρ πάντες ποικίλ ἐπιστάμεθα"Who thinks his neighbour nothing knows,And he alone can see,Is but a fool, for we perhapsKnow even more than he."
