Talmud do Przysłów 28:11

Rebbi Samuel, son of Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun³¹¹One of the very last Amoraim mentioned in the Yerushalmi. He explains why his generation turned from work on a Talmud to work on Midrashim., preached: A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but an understanding poor man will think little of him. ³¹²Prov. 28:11. Eccl. rabba 6:2, end.A rich man is wise in his own eyes, this is the master of Talmud. But an understanding poor man will think little of him³¹³Cf. Arabic حقر “to despise somebody or something, think little of him.”, that is the master of homiletics. A parable of two people who entered a city, in the hand of one are gold bars, in the other’s hand small change. The holder of the gold bars cannot spend them and survive; the holder of small change can spend it to survive³¹⁴Nobody comes to hear lectures on Talmud, everybody comes to hear a preacher. Cf. Babli Bava batra 145b. For a negative view of homiletics three generations earlier cf. Maˋserot 3:10 Note 161 (Sopherim Chapter 15)..
