Proverbs 15:31 Updated American Standard Version (UASV)
31 He whose ear heeds wholesome admonition
    will dwell among the wise.

This verse emphasizes the importance of being open to constructive criticism and guidance. It suggests that those who are willing to listen to and learn from reproof, or constructive criticism, will be wise and will be in the company of wise people. The verse implies that being willing to receive feedback and make changes based on it is a key characteristic of wisdom.

  • He whose ear – refers to the ability to hear and pay attention, it implies that one has to be willing to listen and be receptive to what others have to say.
  • Heeds – implies an active engagement, being attentive and responsive to the speaker.
  • Wholesome admonition – refers to constructive criticism, guidance or advice that is intended to help someone grow and improve. It suggests that the reproof given is beneficial and not harmful.
  • Will dwell among the wise – suggests that those who are willing to listen to and learn from reproof will be considered wise and will be in the company of wise people.

In terms of historical and cultural context, the book of Proverbs is a collection of wisdom literature from ancient Israel. It was likely written by multiple authors over a period of several centuries, with the primary purpose of providing guidance and instruction on how to live a wise and virtuous life. The book is heavily influenced by the culture and beliefs of ancient Israel, including their understanding of wisdom and what it meant to be a wise person.

In this particular verse, the idea of listening to and learning from reproof or constructive criticism is presented as a key characteristic of wisdom. This is in line with the overall theme of the book of Proverbs, which underscores the importance of acquiring knowledge and understanding through various means, including listening to the wise and gaining instruction from others.

In ancient Israel, wisdom was highly valued and respected. Wise people were considered to be those who had a deep understanding of the world and how to navigate it successfully. They were sought after for their advice and counsel, and their wisdom was passed down through the generations. This verse, by saying that those who listen to life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise, highlights the importance of being open to guidance and instruction from others, which is a key aspect of acquiring wisdom in that culture.

Proverbs 15:31 emphasizes the importance of being open to constructive criticism and guidance in the historical and cultural context of ancient Israel, where wisdom was highly valued and respected. The verse implies that being willing to receive feedback and make changes based on it is a key characteristic of wisdom, and those who have this characteristic will be counted among the wise people.
