Commentary on Proverbs 29:1

Theological / Devotional

He, that being often reproved. Literally, “A man of reproofs.” The long-suffering of God gives sinners a probation in which to repent of their evil deeds. If they continue to harden their necks and reject the “easy” yoke of Christ (Matt. 11:30), while the mercy of God is protecting them against the consequences of their sins, their calamity and destruction will seem to come suddenly (see Prov. 6:15; 15:10; Jer. 19:15; Heb. 10:26-30).
