Teach the Wise, and They Grow Wiser

Proverbs 9:9
기원전 10~4세기
ORIGINAL
תֵּן לְחָכָם וְיֶחְכַּם־עוֹד הוֹדַע לְצַדִּיק וְיוֹסֶף לֶקַח
📜 THE VERSE

Teach the wise, and they grow wiser; instruct the just, and they add to their learning.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

Do I only pile up what I newly learn, or use it to open the next door?

📝Reflection

The same teaching yields different results in different people. Given to the wise, it becomes a seed that grows into greater wisdom; given to others, it simply drains away. The difference lies not in talent but in posture. The wise connect what they learn to what they already hold and generate new questions. The Hebrew sage saw through to this law of compounding — that more is added to those who already have. Learning is not a savings account merely piled up but capital that multiplies the more it is turned. If you learned one thing today, that one becomes ten when you ask what it can open.
