because you neglected all my counsel, and wanted none of my correction,
Solomon, having shown how dangerous it is to hearken to the temptations of Satan, here shows how dangerous it is not to hearken to the calls of God, which we shall for ever rue the neglect of. Observe, I. By whom God calls to us - by wisdom. It is wisdom that crieth without.
Commenting on Proverbs 1:20-33
But ye have set at nought all my counsel,.... The same with "the counsel of God", Act 20:27. The whole Gospel, and all the truths of it; the entire scheme of salvation by Jesus Christ, which is the produce of divine wisdom, and is according to the counsel of the divine will, and his eternal purpose in Christ Jesus; this the Jews set at nought...
set at naught--rejected as of no value. would none of--literally, "were not willing or inclined to it."
