Proverbs 13:1
A wise son heeds his father’s discipline, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.
BSB
ASV
A wise son heareth his father’s instruction; But a scoffer heareth not rebuke.
KJV
A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
Heareth - The verb of the second clause is inserted in the first, just as in the next verse that of the first is inserted in the second. Stress is laid upon the obstinacy of the scorner who refuses to hear, not only “instruction,” but also the much stronger “rebuke.”
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
