Listen to counsel, receive instruction, and accept correction that you may be wise in the time to come. Take those good counsel that you hear because that’s the way to live wisely and well. Get all the advice you can and be wise the rest of your life. Pay attention to the advice you hear so you can live sensibly.
This proverb actually looks into the future welfare of the person reading this or hearing godly wisdom. Of course, the wisdom of the world is not what Solomon is writing about because this world’s wisdom is foolishness to God (1st Cor 3:19), so a brighter future begins with listening to advice and then to accept that advice. Only then can you gain a proper wisdom for a better future. It is simply the cause and effect. Good instruction leads to a better tomorrow; especially an Eternal One.
