Proverbs 15:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

A fool despiseth, doth not regard nor obey, which is an evidence of contempt, his father's instruction; who hath both love to him, and authority over him; which greatly aggravates his folly. Reproof; the reproof of any person whatsoever, and much more of a father.

Proverbs 15:5

5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
