SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:12
¶ El burlador no ama al que le corrige; ni se allega a los sabios.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him , etc.] He that makes a jest of religion; scoffs at godliness and godly men; treats the Gospel and the ministers of it with contempt; makes a mock at good men, and all that is good; a pestilent fellow, as the Vulgate Latin version: such an one not only does not love, for more is intended than is expressed; but hates him that reproves him, and especially if publicly, ( Amos 5:10); he thinks ill of him; bears him a grudge, and abhors him; and speaks evil of him, and reproaches him; and does all he can to the injury of his person and name; hence the advice of the wise man, ( Proverbs 9:7,8). Some render it, he “loves not reproving himself”, or “to reprove himself” f436 ; he does not care to look into his own heart and ways, or to call himself to an account for what he does; nor to check himself in the pursuit of sin, nor argue with and reprove himself for it; neither will he go unto the wise ; to the private houses of wise and good men; nor to the house of wisdom, or place of public instruction, where wise dispensers of the word give good advice and counsel; scorners do not choose to go to either, lest they should be reproved for their evil ways, and be advised leave them; neither of which is agreeable to them; (see John 3:20,21).
Matthew Henry Commentary
