Proverbs15:31

31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life , abideth among the wise .

The man that hearkeneth to it, and delights in it.

That Reproof and good Counsel which leads to Life.

Heb. shall▪ or will abide, &c. Either 1. He will thereby be made wise, and be esteemed one of that number. Or rather 2. He seeketh and delighteth in the Company and Conversation of the Wise, by whom he may be admonished, as on the contrary, Fools who hate Reproof do avoid and abhor the Society of Wise men and Reprovers, Amos 5. 10.

Marginal references: Ver. 5. & Chap. 12. 1.
