Verse 9
9. Give The word instruction being supplied. A noun, which is the complement of a verb, is often omitted, when it may be readily supplied from the context.
Instruction Perhaps admonition, or admonitory counsel, would be suggested by the connexion. The sentiment of the verse may be thus expressed: A man disposed to learn will grow wiser even by admonition; and instruction given to a good man will make him better. It is too often the reverse with scoffers and the wicked. “Every thing blesses the wise man.” Miller.
