“Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.”
Proverbs 26:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 26:12
Do you see someone wise in their own eyes? There's more hope for a fool than for them. The Hebrew 'chakam be`eynayv' (wise in own eyes) describes self-deception. Fools may lack knowledge but can potentially learn. Self-deceived people convinced of their wisdom cannot learn - they reject instruction because they think they know better. This worst form of foolishness: unteachable pride. Proverbs 3:7 warns: 'Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.'
