"He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, And rageth against all sound wisdom. "
— Proverbs 18:1, American Standard Version
“Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.”
“An unfriendly man pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.”
“One who has isolated himself seeks his own desires; he rejects all sound judgment.”
“He that hath a mind to depart from a friend, seeketh occasions: he shall ever be subject to reproach.”
“He who keeps himself separate for his private purpose goes against all good sense.”
“Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.”
He that separateth himself seeketh his own desire, And rageth against all sound wisdom.
A fool hath no delight in understanding, But only that his heart may reveal itself.
When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, And with ignominy cometh reproach.
The words of a man’s mouth areasdeep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is as a flowing brook.
