Commentary for Proverbs 21:11

בַּעְנָשׁ־לֵ֭ץ יֶחְכַּם־פֶּ֑תִי וּבְהַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְ֝חָכָ֗ם יִקַּח־דָּֽעַת׃

When the scorner is punished, the thoughtless is made wise; And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

Rashi on Proverbs

When a scorner is punished, a fool gains wisdom Through the chastisements of scorners, fools gain wisdom and return [to God] in repentance.
