“A wise son heareth his father’s instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.”
A wise son heeds his fathers instruction, but a mocker does not listen to rebuke. The wise son (ben chacham) receives his fathers teaching. The mocker (letz) refuses correction. Receptivity defines the wise; rejection defines the fool.
