“Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.”
King James Version (KJV)
13:16 Knowledge - Considerately and discreetly. Layeth open - By his foolish actions.
13:17 A messenger - Who is unfaithful in the execution of that which is committed to his charge. Is health - Procures benefit, as to his master, so to himself.
13:19 Sweet - Whatsoever men earnestly desire, the enjoyment of it is sweet to them; therefore sinners rejoice in the satisfaction of their sinful lusts, and abhor all restraint of them.
