This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
Ver. 29. For that they hated knowledge.] These are the worst sort of sinners, {Pro_1:22} that not only slight knowledge, but hate it, as thieves do a torch in the night; curse it, as Ethiopians do the scorching sun; fly against it, as bats do against the light. {a} "This is the condemnation"; {Joh_3:19-20} this is hell aforehand.
And did not choose.] Añåôç , quasi áéñåôç: Aãáèïí , quasi áãáí èåáôïí . "Refuse the evil, and choose the good." {Isa_7:16} "Choose the things that please God"; {Isa_56:4} "that wherein he delights." {Isa_65:12} Such a choice made Moses; {Heb_11:25} and Joshua; {Jos_24:15} and Mary. {Luk_10:42}
{a} Herodot.
