Verse 1. He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth correction, is brutish.

Verse 1. He that loueth correction, loueth knowledge: but he that hateth correction, is brutish.

HE that loveth instruction,] Which doth apply himself to seek it, by those means which are ordained of God for his people to be instructed by, and accepteth and maketh use of it, when it is offered to him, he loveth knowledge, that is, hath it in due estimation, and truly desireth it, and therefore shall also accordingly obtain it. But he that hateth correction, which refuseth all instruction, but especially will not endure to be reproved, or corrected, he is brutish, a beast in a mans shape, a fool in a high degree of folly, both for an ignorant mind, and rude behaviour, and wretched condition.
