It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than for a man to hear the song of fools.

The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life Shall abide among the wise.He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.

Let the righteous smite me, it shall be a kindness; And let him reprove me, it shall be as oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it: For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.

Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth correction; But he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.

They that sit in the gate talk of me; And I am the song of the drunkards.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are profuse.

Whoso despiseth the word bringeth destruction on himself; But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.

A rebuke entereth deeper into one that hath understanding Than a hundred stripes into a fool.
