Wesley's Notes for Proverbs 19:27

19:25 Scorner - An obstinate and impudent transgressor. Simple - Who sin thro' ignorance, being possibly drawn to it by the scorner's evil counsel or example. Reprove - A verbal reproof will be more effectual for his reformation, than the severest punishments will be to a scorner.

19:26 Wasteth - His father's estate. Chaseth - Causes her to avoid his presence, and to go from the house where he is.

19:28 Scorneth - Hath no reverence to the place of justice, nor to the presence of God there. Devoureth - Utters it with greediness and delight.

19:29 Prepared - Although they be deferred for a time, yet they are treasured up for them.
