Commentary on Proverbs 1:25

Theological / Devotional

Set at nought. Heb. para‘, “to let alone,” “to neglect.” The rejectors of God’s mercy are not pictured as ignorant of good or as claiming that salvation is worthless; they are shown as simply too busy with lesser things or too hardened in sin to heed the call (Luke 14:18; Acts 24:25). They are not the heathen, but the careless or backslidden believers. It is dangerous to put off the day of responding to the pleadings of wisdom.
