Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
Que te alabe otra persona, no tu propia boca; que lo haga un extraño, no tus propios labios.
Es mejor que otros reconozcan tus méritos en lugar de que te elogies a ti mismo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the ancient Near East, where the Book of Proverbs was compiled during the time of King Solomon, wisdom literature served as moral guidance for young people to navigate life's challenges with integrity and humility. This verse specifically warns against self-praise, reflecting a cultural value in ancient Israel that viewed boasting as unwise and potentially destructive to one's reputation. Instead, it promotes the idea that true character is best affirmed by others, highlighting the importance of external validation in a society that prized modesty.
