Wise With Honor
31
If you listen to constructive criticism,
you will be at home among the wise.
32
If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself;
but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.
33
Fear of the Lord teaches wisdom;
humility precedes honor.
Verse 31
If someone learns from words of correction, then that person will become wiser.
We all make mistakes. A wise person learns not to repeat his mistakes. He knows that correction is valuable.
Verse 32
When other people correct us, we become wiser. And we become more responsible. Correction is a good thing.
But someone who refuses to obey instructions will suffer as a result. This is as if he hates himself. We should learn discipline. And we should learn to be wise.
Verse 33
Especially, we shall learn to be wise, if we respect God. Wisdom is God’s gift to us. We must respect God. This is the first and most important lesson in wisdom (Proverbs 1:7).
People want to receive honor. But many people do not want to be humble. We need to be humble, because we need to learn from God. We also need to learn from other people. If we are humble, then God will be pleased with us. God gives honor to humble people.
If we are humble, then the result is honor.
We have seen these proverbs in a slightly different form before. Someone might refuse to admit they are wrong because it would hurt their pride. However, those who listen to correction gain understanding and wisdom. Fear, reverence, and awe of Yahweh teach wisdom, and wisdom brings life. Pride does not bring honor—humility does.
Let me ask you: I am very familiar with the sin of Pride—I struggle with it. Pride can be hidden by false humility so others don’t see the hypocrisy. Pride can also cause Envy and Anger, which can also be hidden. Do you struggle with Envy or Anger? Maybe you need to address the underlying issue of Pride.
