My Comment:

The Bible is a great source of wisdom, guidance, and comfort. It is helpful to read it repeatedly. It is helpful to read more than one English Bible translation or version. I have given Proverbs 28:26 in ten translations or versions above, each chosen for the additional insight it provides.

Reading and studying the cross references for a verse of Scripture will help in seeing what the rest of the Bible says about its subjects or themes.

Here are the cross references I have newly gathered for Proverbs 28:26 for the Ultimate Cross Reference Treasury:
