Proverbs 13:1
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 13
1 A wise son loves correction,
but the scoffer heeds no rebuke.[a]
Footnotes
- 13:1 Another in the series on the household, this one on the relation of parents and children. See under 10:1. The scoffer in Proverbs condemns discipline and thus can never become wise. Wise adult children advertise to the community what they received from their parents, for children become wise through a dialectical process involving the parents. A foolish adult child witnesses to foolish parents.
Proverbs 13:1
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
13 A wise child loves discipline,[a]
