Pemikiran Yahudi Amsal 14:23: Words

בְּכָל־עֶ֭צֶב יִהְיֶ֣ה מוֹתָ֑ר וּדְבַר־שְׂ֝פָתַ֗יִם אַךְ־לְמַחְסֽוֹר׃

Dalam setiap jerih payah ada keuntungan, tetapi omong kosong hanya membawa kepada kekurangan.

Words of Peace and Truth

With the new copy of the Bible, which translates the Torah correctly, free of errors in the German language, a youth will hear God’s Torah in pure, clean language, so that its words will enter his heart. He will comprehend them better and understand the purity of the language in this collection of beauty, good taste and wise expression. The smooth language of the secular books will no longer confuse them. They will see how much better the divine language is, how a few words can convey deep concepts and how “mere talk leads only to loss” [Proverbs 14:23] in the secular language. Those few who succeed to understand the teaching of basic principles will learn how each one is based on actual reality. As we began to explain in our book The Locked Garden and other books that we wrote on this topic, and in our commentary on Rabbi Moses Mendelsohn’s translation of Leviticus, the student’s desire to go deeper into the Torah will increase and he will in time grow in wisdom.
