Proverbs 15:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Loveth not, i.e. hateth and avoideth it; for more is here understood than is expressed, as it is Proverbs 11:21, Proverbs 12:3, and elsewhere. Neither will he go unto, seek their company and conversation, as his duty and interest obligeth him, the wise, i.e. the godly, because he knows they who are so indeed will make conscience of reproving him.

Proverbs 15:12

12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
