[Proverbs 28](/study/proverbs/28) [Proverbs 30](/study/proverbs/30) ## Commentary To verse 1 1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth *his* neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. Here, 1. The obstinacy of many wicked people in a wicked way is to be greatly lamented. They are *often reproved* by parents and friends, by magistrates and ministers, by the providence of God and by their own consciences, have had their sins set in order before them and fair warning given them of the consequences of them, but all in vain; they *harden their necks.* Perhaps they fling away, and will not so much as give the reproof a patient hearing; or, if they do, yet they go on in the sins for which they are reproved; they will not bow their necks to the yoke, but are children of Belial; they refuse reproof ([Proverbs 10:17](/kjv/proverbs/10/17); [Proverbs 10:17](/kjv/proverbs/10/17)), despise it ([Proverbs 5:12](/kjv/proverbs/5/12); [Proverbs 5:12](/kjv/proverbs/5/12)), hate it, [Proverbs 12:1](/kjv/proverbs/12/1); [Proverbs 12:1](/kjv/proverbs/12/1). 2. The issue of this obstinacy is to be greatly dreaded: Those that go on in sin, in spite of admonition, *shall be destroyed;* those that will not be reformed must expect to be ruined; if the rods answer not the end, expect the axes. They *shall be suddenly destroyed,* in the midst of their security, *and without remedy;* they have sinned against the preventing remedy, and therefore let them not expect any recovering remedy. Hell is remediless destruction. They *shall be destroyed, and no healing,* so the word is. If God wounds, who can heal? ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/henrys-complete-commentary-on-the-bible/proverbs/29#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/henrys-complete-commentary-on-the-bible/proverbs/29#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/henrys-complete-commentary-on-the-bible/proverbs/29","name":"Proverbs 29 - Study King James Bible with henrys complete commentary on the bible","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/henrys-complete-commentary-on-the-bible/proverbs/29#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read Proverbs 29 with henrys complete commentary on the bible commentary. 1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. 2 When the righteous are in authority, the peopl","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/henrys-complete-commentary-on-the-bible/proverbs/29#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/henrys-complete-commentary-on-the-bible/proverbs/29"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/henrys-complete-commentary-on-the-bible/proverbs/29#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","name":"Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/henrys-complete-commentary-on-the-bible","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/henrys-complete-commentary-on-the-bible","name":"henrys complete commentary on the bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/henrys-complete-commentary-on-the-bible/proverbs","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/henrys-complete-commentary-on-the-bible/proverbs","name":"Proverbs"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/henrys-complete-commentary-on-the-bible/proverbs/29","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/henrys-complete-commentary-on-the-bible/proverbs/29","name":"29"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
