Proverbs 9
One of the many characteristics of the wise is the ability to receive instruction. While the fool rejects it, the wise willingly receive it.
vv. 8-9 tell us;
Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
The contrast here is wisdom vs. folly, pride vs. humility, godliness vs. worldliness.
By God's grace, may we continue to grow in wisdom as we humbly receive correction. May we train up our children to recognize their dependency on this source of wisdom.
