fool's.
presently.
Heb. in that day.
but.
 He is proud and self-confident, refusing to brook correction: on the other hand, he is intolerant of others’ faults, manifesting his indignation readily, and making worse the wound in place of binding up. The wise and prudent man is in every way the contrast to all this. (Proverbs Twelve by H.A. Ironside)
 It is the same contrast that existed in the days of Noah, when Ham unblushingly related the tale of his father’s shame, as though himself superior to his sire; while Shem and Japheth went backwards to cover their dishonored parent (Gen. 9). (Proverbs Twelve by H.A. Ironside)
