Blows Deeper Deeply Discernment Entereth Enters Fool Foolish Goes Hundred Intelligent Lashes Protest Rebuke Reproof Sense Stripes Understanding Wise Word Matthew Henry's Whole Bible Commentary Verse 10 Note, 1. A word is enough to the wise. A gentle reproof will enter not only into the head, but into the heart of a wise man, so as to have a strong influence upon him; for, if but a hint be given to conscience, let it alone to carry it on and prosecute it. 2. Stripes are not enough for a fool, to make him sensible of his errors, that he may repent of them, and be more cautious for the future. He that is sottish and wilful is very rarely benefited by severity. David is softened with, Thou art the man; but Pharaoh remains hard under all the plagues of Egypt.
