Proverbs 13:1

"Proverbs."

Key Reflection

The book of Proverbs offers wisdom and guidance for living a righteous life, emphasizing that a wise son listens to his father's instruction while a scoffer rejects rebuke. This reflects the broader theme of seeking and valuing divine wisdom over rebellion, linking individual behavior with spiritual discernment.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Heareth -The verb of the second clause is inserted in the first, just as in the next verse that of the first is inserted in the second. Stress is laid upon the obstinacy of the scorner who refuses to hear, not only “instruction,” but also the much stronger “rebuke.”
