Proverbs 14 Footnotes

14:15 The inexperienced person in Proverbs is gullible and naïve. He believes whatever anyone tells him. Unlike the sensible or prudent person, this person rashly commits himself to things without sufficient knowledge of what is involved or the limits to his own abilities and resources. The sensible person is deliberate and careful to acquire sufficient information, and then make wise decisions that take into account the reality of the situation.
