惟王違棄耆老之謀、與侍其前、偕己同長之少者謀、

王弗聽、有少者、與王年相若、侍於王側、王與之議、

王不從老者之謀、乃與侍其前、偕己同長之少者議、曰、

Listen to advice and accept correction. In the end you will be counted among those who are wise.

But Rehoboam didn’t accept the advice the elders gave him. He asked for advice from the young men who had grown up with him and were now serving him.

You turn away from all my advice. And you do not accept my warning.

The Lord was very angry with Amaziah. He sent a prophet to him. The prophet said,“ Why do you ask the gods of those people for advice? They couldn’t even save their own people from your power!”While the prophet was still speaking, the king spoke to him. He said,“ Did I ask you for advice? Stop! If you don’t, you will be struck down.” So the prophet stopped. But then he said,“ I know that God has decided to destroy you. That’s because you have worshiped other gods. You haven’t listened to my advice.”

You wouldn’t accept my advice. You turned your backs on my warnings.

The hearts of wise people lead them on the right path. But the hearts of foolish people take them down the wrong path.Foolish people don’t have any sense at all. They show everyone they are foolish. They do it even when they are walking along the road.

Proverbs teach you wisdom and instruct you. They help you understand wise sayings.They provide you with instruction and help you live wisely. They lead to what is right and honest and fair.They give understanding to childish people. They give knowledge and good sense to those who are young.Let wise people listen and add to what they have learned. Let those who understand what is right get guidance.

A wise judge’s warning to a listening ear is like a gold earring or jewelry made of fine gold.
