Proverbs 19:25
_ _ Such is the benefit of reproof; even the simple profit, much more the wise. |
Proverbs 19:25
_ _ Note, 1. The punishment of scorners will be a means of good to others. When men are so hardened in wickedness that they will not themselves be wrought upon by the severe methods that are used to reclaim and reform them, yet such methods must be used for the sake of others, that they may hear and fear, Deuteronomy 19:20. If the scorner will not be recovered from his sin, the disease being inveterate, yet the simple will beware of venturing upon the sin which exposes men thus. If it cure not the infected, it may prevent the spreading of the infection. 2. The reproof of wise men will be a means of good to themselves. They need not be smitten; a word to the wise is enough. Do but reprove one that has understanding and he will so far understand himself and his own interest that he will understand knowledge by it, and not miss it again through ignorance and inadvertency when once he has been told of it; so kindly does he take reproof and so wisely improve it. |
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. |
Proverbs 19:25
Smite a scorner, and the (i) simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, [and] he will understand knowledge.
(i) That is, the simple and ignorant men learn when they see the wicked punished. |

Proverbs 21:11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

- reprove:
