(Amplified Bible)<br /><br />KJV uses 'separates,' too, and the Hebrew word implies breaking away, being out of joint. So, maybe not necessarily to hear themselves, but definitely not to hear those who are wise, I'm thinking.<br /><br />As I'm thinking about "out of joint," when we remove ourselves from the body of Christ, that definitely puts us on the outs with God. We'll die if we don't stay connected to the body.<br /><br />Sorry about the candy.

Although "cheap" candy, not so much. But I love how you picked this apart, because it did in fact sound like a good thing.<br /><br />I was a little confused about what "Separates himself" (v. 1) means. Perhaps draw attention to ones self? That would fit with revealing his own mind. Sounds like someone who talks just to hear themselves, but doesn't really have anything of value to say. Hey! Stop talking about me!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458659497370768232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839483954961689076.post-87448336514464623562009-07-22T02:08:26.110-04:002009-07-22T02:08:26.110-04:00Good observations, and some humor too!
