Proverbs 29:1
Thomson 1808
BETTER is a man of reproach, than a man who is stiffnecked: for when the latter is suddenly aggravated, there is no healing him.
Brenton 1851
A reprover is better than a stiff-necked man: for when the latter is suddenly set on fire, there shall be no remedy.
Greek · Brenton
Κρείσσων ἀνὴρ ἐλέγχων ἀνδρὸς σκληροτραχήλου, ἐξαπίνης γὰρ φλεγομένου αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις.
