Reproof more affects the wise than severe scourging, fools.

Poole: Pro 17:10

Is more effectual for his reformation.

Haydock: Pro 17:10 - Fools

Fools. "A word is enough for the wise." Nobilis equus umbra virgζ regitur, ignavus ne calcari quidem. (Q. Curtius)

Gill: Pro 17:10 - A reproof entereth more into a wise man // than an hundred stripes into a fool

A reproof entereth more into a wise man,.... A single verbal reproof, gently, kindly, and prudently given, not only enters the ear, but the heart of a wise and understanding man; it descends into him, as the word ^k signifies; it sinks deep into his mind; it penetrates into his heart, and pierces his conscience; brings him easily to humiliation, confession, and reformation. Or, "reproof is more terror to a wise man"; as Jarchi interprets it, and the Tigurine version; it awes and terrifies him more; a single word has more effect upon him, entering more easily into him,

than an hundred stripes into a fool; or, "than smiting a fool a hundred times" ^l: a word to a wise man is more than a hundred blows to a fool, will sooner correct and amend him; a word will enter where a blow will not; stripes only reach the back, but not the heart of a fool; he is never the better for all the corrections given him; his heart is not affected, is not humbled, nor brought to a sense of sin, and acknowledgment of it; nor is he in the least reformed: or a single reproof to a wise man is of more service than a hundred reproofs to a fool; which are sometimes expressed by smiting, "let the righteous smite me", &c. Psa 141:5.
