DAY 107
Wise in His Own Eyes
기원전 10~6세기 편집 (히브리 지혜문학)
ORIGINAL
רָאִיתָ אִישׁ חָכָם בְּעֵינָיו תִּקְוָה לִכְסִיל מִמֶּנּוּ
📜 THE VERSE
Do you see a person wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Locked in the certainty that I know, am I closing off my own chance to learn?
📝Reflection
One who does not know can learn, but one who thinks he knows it all cannot. So this verse says coolly that a fool has more hope than the self-assured. As the frog in the well thinks itself vast, certainty often blinds the view. The truly wise always suppose there is something they do not know. That one margin — that I might be wrong — is what keeps me growing.

🌱Apply It Today
For one thing you were sure you knew today, leave the margin: "What if I am wrong?"
