Gill's Notes on the Bible
A wise son [heareth] his father's instruction,.... As he should, and has good reason to do; since it must be cordial, faithful, and disinterested, as well as the effect of age and experience. He "asks for it" and "loves" it, as Jarchi supplies the text; he likes and approves of it, is well pleased with it, and delights in it; seeing it tends to his profit and advantage; he "receives" it, as the Targum, so Ben Melech; he listens to and obeys it, and acts agreeably to it, which shows him to be wise; and this is the way to be wiser and wiser. So one that is spiritually wise will attend to and receive the instruction of Wisdom or Christ; who stands in the relation of an everlasting fin, her to his children; whose instruction is the doctrine of the Gospel; which a wise man hears, so as to understand it; to love and like it, and approve of it; cordially to embrace and obey it, and put it in practice; see Matthew 7:24. The word also signifies "correction" s, because instruction often comes by it; and he that is a wise man will hear the rod and him that has appointed it, and learn to know his mind by it, and receive instruction from it: or is "chastised by his father" t, and takes it well, Micah 6:9;
but a scorner heareth not rebuke; that is, a son who is a scorner, as the Targum and Aben Ezra; one that makes a mock at sin, and scoffs at religion: such a man will be so far from hearing, attending to, and receiving the rebuke and reproof of his father, that he will scoff also at that; such as were the sons in law of Lot, and the sons of Eli and Samuel. So scornful men, that make a jest of everything that is sacred, will not hearken to the reproof of God's word, to the rebukes of Gospel ministers, or even to the rebukes of Providence, which will issue in their destruction, Proverbs 5:11.
s מוסר "obedivit castigationem", Baynus, so Gejerus. t "Castigatur a patre, vel castigatus patris", Scultens, so De Dieu.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Heareth - The verb of the second clause is inserted in the first, just as in the next verse that of the first is inserted in the second. Stress is laid upon the obstinacy of the scorner who refuses to hear, not only “instruction,” but also the much stronger “rebuke.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XIII
Various moral sentences; the wise child; continence of speech;
of the poor rich man and the rich poor man; ill-gotten wealth;
delay of what is hoped for; the bad consequences of refusing
instruction; providing for one's children; the necessity of
correcting them, c.
NOTES ON CHAP. XIII
Verse Proverbs 13:1. 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 fulfil its own will and have its own way, will jest at the reproofs of its parents.
