“Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.” “Instruction” here as in Proverbs 1:2 and other places, means “discipline” or “chastisement,” so that it is shown that knowledge consists in more than mere theoretical, or “book” learning: it involves the development of practical “horse sense” in holy living. No discipline is loved for itself, for it is unpleasant, but a saved person will love it for its fruit—development in holiness, (Heb. 12:11). The unsaved person, looks no further than the feelings of the moment, and so he hates anything that hinders his lusts…All Biblical reproof is designed for our good, and should not be despised.
