Commentary on Proverbs 1:22

Theological / Devotional

How long? Verses 22-33 give the words that wisdom is pictured as speaking. Notice the progression in degrees of culpability: the simple who do not realize the need for instruction in righteousness, those who openly mock at good, and the confirmed transgressors who are called fools. The simple and the scorners are too occupied with trivialities and self-pride to heed the warnings, and the fools actively hate and oppose righteousness.
