Proverbes 1:30 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 1:30

They would none of my counsel
Neither his doctrines nor his ordinances; nor would they attend to the wholesome counsel and advice he gave them in his sermons upon the mount, and in other discourses of his at other times and places; they despised all my reproof;
for their hypocrisy, uncleanness, covetousness, and other sins they were addicted to; see ( Matthew 23:1-36 ) ; but they "derided" him for it, ( Luke 16:14 ) ; where the same word is used as is by the Septuagint here. These things are repeated from ( Proverbs 1:25 ) , to observe their ingratitude, and how just was their ruin, and what the true cause of it.

Proverbes 1:30 In-Context

28 Alors ils crieront vers moi, mais je ne répondrai point; ils me chercheront de grand matin, mais ils ne me trouveront point;
29 Parce qu'ils ont haï la science, et qu'ils n'ont point choisi la crainte de l'Éternel.
30 Ils n'ont point pris plaisir à mon conseil; ils ont dédaigné toutes mes réprimandes.
31 Qu'ils mangent donc le fruit de leur voie, et qu'ils se rassasient de leurs conseils.
32 Car l'égarement des sots les tue, et la sécurité des insensés les perd.
