Wisdom for
our times
Here is
a bilingual text that demonstrates some simple multilingual markup.
Human wisdom
endures over time, and the cultivation of wisdom is a source of strength.
By transmitting wisdom, religions and other social institutions increase their
influence and achieve their benevolent purposes.
How, for
example, would you argue in favor of peace in the home? Here is a persuasive
contrast: "טוב פת חרבה ושלוה-בה
מבית מלא זבחי-ריב." , meaning
“Dry bread and quiet within the home are better than abundance ruined by
quarreling.” (Proverbs 17:1/ משלי יז,
א ).
And how
would you invite someone to read this advice, and motivate them to do so?
To learn
wisdom and morality,
to understand
discerning words ....
The wise
will listen and accumulate wisdom,
and will
become able to see through deception.
- Proverbs
1:2
לדעת חכמה
ומסר
להבין
אמרי בינה ....
ישמע חכם
ויוסף לקח
ונבון
תחבלות יקנה
- משלי
א, ב
