Taken together, Proverbs 30 verses 5 and 6 teach against two equal, opposite errors: either to think that some of God’s words are outdated, obsolete, untrue or to treat one’s own insights and “revelations” as equal to the Scripture. Modern skeptics make the first mistake. Many Christians make the second mistake, lifting up their religious traditions, or their inner feelings, or their cultural preferences to the level of revelation, so they are equal with the Bible. We must do neither.
