Proverbs 19:25 - John Wesley's Notes

Proverbs 19:25

23 ^aThe fear of the Lord leads to life,
And he who has it will abide in satisfaction;
He will not be visited with evil.

24 ^aA lazy man buries his hand in the¹ bowl,
And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

25 Strike a scoffer, and the simple ^awill become wary;
^bRebuke one who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge.

26 He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother
Is ^aa son who causes shame and brings reproach.

27 Cease listening to instruction, my son,
And you will stray from the words of knowledge.

Proverbs 19:25

Scorner - An obstinate and impudent transgressor. Simple - Who sin thro' ignorance, being possibly drawn to it by the scorner's evil counsel or example. Reprove - A verbal reproof will be more effectual for his reformation, than the severest punishments will be to a scorner.
