Proverbs 19:25 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Scorner — An obstinate and impudent transgressor. Simple — Who sin thro' ignorance, being possibly drawn to it by the scorner's evil counsel or example. Reprove — A verbal reproof will be more effectual for his reformation, than the severest punishments will be to a scorner.

Proverbs 19:25

25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware:e and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
