Proverbs 29:1
He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
注釈
Study Note
The warning — 'he who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing' — articulates the wisdom tradition's understanding of cumulative moral hardening as a path to catastrophic irreversible judgment. The phrase 'stiffens his neck' (maqsheh oref) is the idiom used for Israel's covenant rebellion in Exodus 32-33 and Deuteronomy 9, connecting this proverbial observation to the theological language of deliberate resistance. 'Beyond healing' (en ain marpe) anticipates the same phrase used by Jeremiah (30:12) and the Chronicler (2 Chronicles 36:16) for the moment when a nation's apostasy has passed the point of available correction. The verse reflects the wisdom tradition's empirical and theological insight that moral receptivity is a habit developed and lost by repeated choices, not a permanent capacity available at any moment.
