Proverbs 13:18 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Poverty, &c., shall be to him, that refuseth instruction Whereby he might have been preserved from destructive and dishonourable courses; but he that regardeth reproof That considers it seriously, receives it kindly, and reforms himself by it; shall be honoured And enriched, which is to be inferred from the former branch. Not indeed that it is always the case, but commonly, and when God sees it will be good for a man. Or, if he do not gain riches, he shall certainly have honour both from God and good men.
