# What is this babbler
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00
The word "babbler" was used to refer to birds picking up seeds as food. It refers negatively to a person who only knows a little bit of information. The philosophers said Paul had bits of information which were not worth listening to. Alternate translation: "What is this uneducated person" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
