Gill's Notes on the Bible
Whose loveth instruction loveth knowledge,.... That loves the instruction of Wisdom, or Christ, Proverbs 4:13; the means of instruction, the Scriptures, which are profitable for instruction in righteousness, and are written for our learning; the Gospel, which instructs into the person, office, and grace of Christ; the ministers of the word, who are so many instructors in Christ; and even the rod of afflictions, by which men are taught their duty, and the will of God: and these are to be loved; and he that loves them clearly shows that he loves knowledge; since the means of instruction, making use of them, and getting instruction by them, are attended with labour, trouble, and difficulty; which a man would not choose, had he not a love unto and a desire after knowledge, and an increase of it; as the knowledge of God, of Christ, and of his truths. Aben Ezra inverts the words;
"he that loves knowledge loves instruction;''
but the sense is much the same;
but he that hateth reproof [is] brutish; or a "beast" k: as the man that is willing to be instructed, in order to gain knowledge, shows himself to be a wise and understanding man; so he that hates the reproof the word of God gives, or the ministers of it, or God by them, appears to be no better than a brute, than the horse or mule that want understanding: so the man of sin hates the Scriptures, the Gospel, and the ministers of it, and the reproofs and convictions they give of his idolatry, superstition, and will worship; nor does he care that his doctrines and practices should be brought to this test, or that the people should have knowledge of them; but keeps them from them, and sets up his own infallibility as the rule of judgment; and it is one character of his followers, that they "receive not the love of the truth", 2 Thessalonians 2:10; and both he and they are represented by a beast,
Revelation 13:1; and are more brutish than any man; see Proverbs 5:11.
k בער "instar bruti indocilis est", Michaelis.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Brutish - Dumb as a brute beast. The difference between man and brute lies chiefly in the capacity of the former for progress and improvement, and that capacity depends upon his willingness to submit to discipline and education. Compare Psalms 49:12.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible

The virtuous woman. The different lot of the just and unjust.
The humane man. The industrious man. The fool and the wise man.
The uncharitable. The excellence of the righteous. The slothful
is in want. Righteousness leads to life, c.
