Jump to Previous Beast Brutish Correction Discipline Hater Hates Hateth Hating Instruction Loves Loving Reproof Stupid Teaching TrainingJump to Next Beast Brutish Correction Discipline Hater Hates Hateth Hating Instruction Loves Loving Reproof Stupid Teaching TrainingProverbs 12 1. Whoever loves discipline loves knowledgeXII. (1) Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge.--Rather, he that loveth knowledge loveth discipline, i.e., to put himself in the place of a learner; while "he that hateth reproof," who will not take advice, is "brutish," "nourishing a blind life within the brain," like the animals who are incapable of improvement. Verse 1. - Instruction; correction, discpline, which shows a man his faults, gives him a lowly opinion of himself, and opens his mind to receive knowledge, especially the knowledge of himself and of all moral obligations. Is brutish; is as insensible to higher aspirations, to regret for the past or hope of amendment, as a brute beast (comp. Proverbs 30:2). On this point St. Augustine is quoted: "Quicumque corripi non vis, ex eo sane corripiendus es quia corripi non vis. Non vis enim tua tibi vitia demonstrari; non vis ut feriantur, fiatque tibi utilis dolor, quo medicum quaeras; non vis tibi tu ipse ostendi, ut cum deformem te vides, reformaturum desideres, eique supplices ne in illa remaneas foeditate" ('De Corrept. et Grat.,' 5). Such conduct is unworthy of one who is possessed of an immortal soul and infinite capacity for progress and improvement.Parallel Commentaries ...
