Proverbs 12:1 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Brutish - Dumb as a brute beast. The difference between man and brute lies chiefly in the capacity of the former for progress and improvement, and that capacity depends upon his willingness to submit to discipline and education. Compare Psalms 49:12.

Proverbs 12:1

1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
