Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 1. A wise son heareth his father's instruction ] The child that has had a proper nurturing, will profit by his father's counsels; but the child that is permitted to fulfill its own will and have its own way, will jest at the reproofs of its parents.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1 - There is great hope of those that reverence their parents. There is little hope of any who will not hear those that deal faithfully with them.
