Proverbs 13:18 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Instruction; whereby he might have been kept from destructive and dishonourable courses. He that regardeth reproof, that considers it seriously, receiveth it kindly, and reformeth himself by it, shall be honoured, and enriched, which is implied from the former branch. Not that it is so always, but commonly, and when God sees it good for a man. Or if he do not always gain riches, he shall certainly have honour both from God and men.

Proverbs 13:18

18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
