Wesley's Notes

18:3 Cometh - Into any place or company. Contempt - He despiseth all instruction and reproof. Reproach - And he shews his contempt by ignominious and reproachful expressions.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

3. So surely are sin and punishment connected (Pr 16:4).

wicked, for "wickedness," answers to

ignominy, or the state of such; and

contempt, the feeling of others to them; and to

reproach, a manifestation of contempt.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

18:1 If we would get knowledge and grace, we must try all methods of improving ourselves. 2. Those make nothing to purpose, of learning or religion, whose only design is to have something to make a show with. 3. As soon as sin entered, shame followed.


Proverbs 18:2 A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind.
Proverbs 18:4 The words of a man's mouth are deep waters; The fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook. (NASB ©1995)
