paradox3 ------Your Quote Here ------The meanings seem to be different to me as well.
unsafe says ----the meaning is different to you both cause you are viewing it through the wrong Lens -----it is your Worldly Lens that you can only view it from that is the Problem ------
All Bibles MAY SAY a verse a little different but the Spiritual meaning is the same ---------the words of the Bible are foolish to those who are not Spiritual ------
so your claims that there is a different meaning are Spiritually unsupported ------ because Spiritually they say the same thing -----which clearly you both don't view through the right lens ------

and Posted several different Bible versions ----- --------This is Proverbs 29:18 ---

unsafe Posting Not Saying -----Posting to give some information on what the passage is saying Spiritually --------
This is Matthew Henry's commentary on Proverbs 29:18 -----
Commentary on Proverbs 29:18
(Read
Proverbs 29:18)
How bare does a place look without Bibles and ministers! and what an easy prey is it to the enemy of souls!
That gospel is an open vision, which holds forth Christ, which humbles the sinner and exalts the Saviour, which promotes holiness in the life and conversation: and these are precious truths to keep the soul alive, and prevent it from perishing.
unsafe posting ---------Second commentary -----on this passage -----this is Enduring Word Bible Commentary Proverbs 29 -----on this passage
Proverbs 29:18
Where
there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But happy
is he who keeps the law.
a. Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint: The revelation in mind here is not the spontaneous word from a purported prophet.
It is God’s great revelation, His revealed word through the Hebrew prophets and later the apostles and prophets who gave us the New Testament
. When God’s word is unavailable or rejected, the people cast off restraint. They no longer have a standard greater than they own feelings or current opinions.
unsafe says ---We need the right vision which requires the right lens to get the Spiritual meaning of the Scripture and the Holy Spirit is the only one who can provides the Right Lens to get the Spiritual meaning ------Period ----

Spiritual Reading Glasses, Anyone? - Flowing Faith
Do you wear glasses regularly or do you need reading glasses? What a blessing it is to have a way to see clearly, isn’t it? Otherwise everything is a bit blurry. Hard to focus, hard to see. That’s exactly the way it is in our spiritual life too. It’s hard to focus, hard to understand what’s what. We need spiritual reading glasses to see clearly. Especially when we read the Bible. Otherwise we miss the wonderful things in it.
Let me see clearly
so that I may take in
the amazing things coming from Your law.
(
Psalm 119:18, Voice)
This short verse in the middle of the Bible is packed full of wisdom. It has the prescription for spiritual eyeglasses:
1) We need to note that this verse is a prayer. Everything good starts with prayer. It’s our lifeline.
2) We need to acknowledge that there are amazing things in the Bible. We need it to live well.
3) We need to accept that we can’t understand the Bible on our own. We need the Holy Spirit to see clearly.
In short, the Holy Spirit acts like our spiritual reading glasses.
If we read the Bible without asking the Holy Spirit to help, it does not make sense.
Only when we abide in the Holy Spirit, we can understand the spiritual wealth of the Bible. Without the Holy Spirit we can’t see clearly. But blessedly, the Holy Spirit is always ready to help us.
Spiritual eyeglasses don’t cost us anything. They are readily available for anyone without charge. But the Word and the world look really different through them:
The last will be first.
The wounded will be healed.
The captives will be released.
The blind will see.
The death is not the end.
Hallelujah!
