Clarke's Proverbs 13:13 Bible Commentary
Whoso despiseth the word - The revelation which God has in his mercy given to man - shall be destroyed; for there is no other way of salvation but that which it points out.
But he that feareth the commandment - That respects it so as to obey it, walking as this revelation directs - shall be rewarded; shall find it to be his highest interest, and shall be in peace or safety, as the Hebrew word ישלם may be translated.
Wesley's Proverbs 13:13 Bible Commentary
13:13 The word - The word of God.
