Vers. 18. Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth correction shall be honoured.
Vers. 18. Pouertie and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth correction shall be honoured.
Poverty, &c) Every one that rejecteth knowledge, or the means whereby it is to be obtained, shall either fail to get wealth, or not long keep it, or have it and hold it in judgement, without the use and comfort. And as he shall be needy, so shall he also be base, shame shall come upon him, and cover him. Some are made contemptible and vile by poverty and want, and some by the filthiness of their sins, though they abound with wealth. They ⟨p. 52⟩may have riches, but not honour: they may have cap and courtesy, but not reverence and estimation. But he that regardeth correction, which hearkeneth and yieldeth obedience to wholesome counsel, and profiteth by chastisements, shall be honoured, shall either attain to riches and preferment, or be of good account, and well thought of (especially among the wise and godly) in a meaner condition.
POuertie, &c) Euery one that reiecteth knowledge, or the meanes whereby it is to be obtained, shall either faile to get wealth, or not long keepe it, or haue it and hold it in iudgement, without the vse and comfort. And as he shall be needy, so shall he also be base, shame shall come vpon him, and couer him. Some are made contemptible and vile by pouerty and want, and some by the filthines of their sins, though they abound with wealth. They ⟨p. 52⟩may haue riches, but not honour: they may haue cap and curtesie, but not reuerence and estimation. But he that regardeth correction, which hearkeneth and yeeldeth obedience to wholsome councell, and profiteth by chastisements, shall be honoured, shall either attaine to riches and preferment, or be of good account, and well thought of (especially among the wise and godly) in a meaner condition.
