27 Cease, my son, to hear instruction,
To depart from the words of knowledge.
Oetinger correctly: cease from hearing instruction if thou wilt make no other use of it than to depart, etc., i.e., cease to learn wisdom and afterwards to misuse it. The proverb is, as Ewald says, as "bloody irony;" but it is a dissuasive from hypocrisy, a warning against the self-deception of which Jam 1:22-24 speaks, against heightening one's own condemnation, which is the case of that servant who knows his lord's will and does it not, Luk 12:47. חדל, in the meaning to leave off doing something further, is more frequently construed with ל seq. infin. than with מן (cf. e.g., Gen 11:8 with Kg1 15:21); but if we mean the omission of a thing which has not yet been begun, then the construction is with ל, Num 9:13, Instead of לשׁגּות, there might have been also used מלּשׁגּות (omit rather ... than...), and למען שׁגות would be more distinct; but as the proverb is expressed, לשׁגות is not to be mistaken as the subord. infin. of purpose. The lxx, Syr., Targ., and Jerome do violence to the proverb. Luther, after the example of older interpreters: instruction, that which leads away from prudent learning; but musar always means either discipline weaning from evil, or education leading to good. |

13 But the man [0376] that is clean [02889], and is not in a journey [01870], and forbeareth [02308] to keep [06213] the passover [06453], even the same soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from among his people [05971]: because he brought [07126] not the offering [07133] of the LORD [03068] in his appointed season [04150], that man [0376] shall bear [05375] his sin [02399].
21 And it came to pass, when Baasha [01201] heard [08085] thereof, that he left off [02308] building [01129] of Ramah [07414], and dwelt [03427] in Tirzah [08656].
8 So the LORD [03068] scattered them abroad [06327] from thence [08033] upon the face [06440] of all the earth [0776]: and they left off [02308] to build [01129] the city [05892].
47 And [1161] that [1565] servant [1401], which [3588] knew [1097] his [1438] lord's [2962] will [2307], and [2532] prepared [2090] not [3361] himself, neither [3366] did [4160] according [4314] to his [846] will [2307], shall be beaten [1194] with many [4183] stripes.
22 But [1161] be ye [1096] doers [4163] of the word [3056], and [2532] not [3361] hearers [202] only [3440], deceiving [3884] your own selves [1438].
23 For [3754] if any [1536] be [2076] a hearer [202] of the word [3056], and [2532] not [3756] a doer [4163], he [3778] is like [1503] unto a man [435] beholding [2657] his [846] natural [1078] face [4383] in [1722] a glass [2072]:
24 For [1063] he beholdeth [2657] himself [1438], and [2532] goeth his way [565], and [2532] straightway [2112] forgetteth [1950] what manner of man [3697] he was [2258].
