The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
The ear that heareth the reproof of life (the reproof that leads to life in the highest sense) abideth among the wise - literally, 'passeth the night' х taaliyn (H3885)] - i:e., abides continually: not even at night doth such a one cease to associate with or among the wise-literally, in the interior of the wise, in the very midst of them. Abiding thus in intimacy with them here, he shall be numbered among them forever hereafter.
