Proverbs 19:2

Proverbs 19:2 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

2Desire without knowledge is not good—

how much more will hasty feet miss the way!

2Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge,

And one who hurries 19:2 Lit with his feethis footsteps 19:2 Lit sinserrs.

2Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge,

And he who hurries his footsteps errs.

2Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge,

And he who hurries with his feet [acting impulsively and proceeding without caution or analyzing the consequences] sins (misses the mark).

2Even zeal is no good without knowledge,

and he who hurries his footsteps misses the mark.

2Getting excited about something without knowledge isn’t good.

It’s even worse to be in a hurry and miss the way.
