Verse 1. A wise Sonne harkeneth to the instruction of his Father: but a scorner will heare no rebuke,
A Wise Son, that is, a godly and prudent child of either sex, male, or female, son, or daughter, will receive, observe, and obey the good lessons, and counsel both of father and mother. But a scorner, that is, an obstinate, sinful person, will hear no rebuke, that is, he will be so far from profiting by the reproofs of any, though he be a friend, though a brother, though a most tender father, that he will not so much as brook, or bear it, without contempt at least, of the party which rebuketh him.
