Proverbs 12:18

Verse Proverbs 12:18. There is that speaketh] Instead of בוטה boteh, blabbing out, blustering, several MSS. have בוטח boteach, TRUSTING: and instead of כמדקרות kemadkeroth, AS the piercings, seven MSS., with the Complutensian Polyglot, have במדקרות bemadkeroth, IN the piercings. "There is that trusteth in the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health." But I suppose the former to be the true reading.
