Commentary on Proverbs 22:15

Theological / Devotional

Foolishness. The outworkings of heredity in the minds of little children so consistently show themselves in waywardness and mischief that foolishness seems an essential part of childishness, and it is the work of parents to endeavor by the judicious use of correction and instruction, to overcome the evil they themselves have passed on to their children (see chs. 19:18; 23:13; 29:15).
