Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: (as for) him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him. The "simple" are those of whose reformation there is hope; because it is by bad advice and their own inexperience that they are misled, not by malice prepense. They are not hardened against holy things and holy persons, like the "scorner" (Proverbs 9:7). How marvelous is the grace of God, that stoops from the height of His infinite wisdom to offer mercy and knowledge to the simple and foolish! All that He requires is, that they give ear to Him.
