Proverbs 13
1. a scoffer does not listen to rebuke














(25) The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul--i.e., has enough for his wants. (See above on Proverbs 10:3.)

Verse 25. - The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul (comp. Proverbs 10:3; Psalm 34:10). The good man has always enough to satisfy his wants, because he is temperate, and his substance has the blessing of God. "The chief thing for life," says Siracides (Ecclus. 29:21), "is water, and bread, and clothing, and a house to cover shame." The belly of the wicked shall want. The wicked are punished by penury and desires never satisfied. These different results are providentially ordered.
