Proverbs 1:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Ye simple ones; ye ignorant, and easy, and credulous persons, who are so soon cheated by the world and the devil, and do not understand your own interest. Love simplicity; being unwilling to part with it, or to be made wiser. Scorners; that scoff at all religion, and contemn the word and faithful ministers of God. Fools; wilful and wicked fools, as Proverbs 17:10, Proverbs 26:4.

Proverbs 1:22

22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
