Stubborn Critic
1
Whoever stubbornly refuses to accept criticism
will suddenly be destroyed beyond recovery.
2
When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice.
But when the wicked are in power, they groan.
3
The man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father,
but if he hangs around with prostitutes, his wealth is wasted.
The first proverb explains that if someone is corrected many times but refuses to listen or change (by being stubborn), they will eventually face the consequences of their bad decisions.
Verse 2 is pretty clear.
Verse 3 highlights that every parent feels proud when their child makes wise choices. But foolish choices, like spending money on a prostitute, not only waste the child's resources but also bring shame and embarrassment to the family.
Think about this: No one really enjoys being criticized. How do you react when someone you care about corrects you? What about when it comes from someone you don’t like?
