Whoever despises the word and counsel [of God] brings destruction upon himself, but he who [reverently] fears and respects the commandment [of God] is rewarded. (Amplified) Whoever rejects what he is taught will pay for it. But whoever does what he is told will be rewarded. (ICB) Whoever despises the word brings destruction on himself, but he who reveres the commandment will be rewarded. (ESV) Contempt for the word is self-destructive, respect for the commandment wins salvation. (NJB) The one who scorns advice runs the risk of paying dearly (French Common language version) Despises - Pr 1:25,30,31; 2Sa 12:9,10; 2Chr 36:16; Jer 43:2; 44:16,17; Ezek 20:13,16,24; Lk 16:31; Heb 10:28,29 The one - Ezra 10:3; Psalms 115:13; Isaiah 66:2; Malachi 3:16 Rewarded - Psalms 19:11; 119:165; Matthew 5:12; 2 John 1:8 Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge. Fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 10:27 The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be shortened. Proverbs 11:31 If the righteous will be rewarded in the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner! Observe the contrasts in Proverbs 13:13… Despises… word <> Fears… commandment Be in debt <> Be rewarded Ungodly <> Godly Obedience <> Disobedience The one who despises - In Hebrew despises (0936) (buz) is a participle and therefore is more literally rendered "the one despising" which pictures this as his habitual practice! (See parallel uses of despise [buz] in Pr 1:7, 23:9). The LXX translates it with kataphroneo (present tense = continuously) which means he continuously thinks down upon and thus despises, scorns, holds in contempt, refuses to give any care to the word because it is thought to be without value. This person "thinks little of" the Word, always looking look down on it with contempt or even aversion, with the implication that he considers the precious truth of little value or unworthy of his time or consideration. He who does not fear God has need to fear everything else. Charles Simeon wrote that… THE word of God in every age has met with a very different reception from different people: from the antediluvian scoffers to the present moment, the generality have deemed it unworthy of their attention, while a few have regarded it with reverence and godly fear.
