NET Notes

¹sn To “despise oneself” means to reject oneself as if there was little value. The one who ignores discipline is not interested in improving himself.

²tn Or “heeds” (so NAB, NIV); NASB “listens to.”

³tn The Hebrew text reads קוֹנֶה לֵּב (qoneh lev), the participle of קָנָה (qanah, “to acquire; to possess”) with its object, “heart.” The word “heart” is frequently a metonymy of subject, meaning all the capacities of the human spirit and/or mind. Here it refers to the ability to make judgments or discernment.
