The ear that listens to reproof lives, and will be at home among the wise.He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.

Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, but he who heeds correction shall be honored.

The wounds of a friend are faithful, although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.

Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command will be rewarded.

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

Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you.

A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding than a hundred lashes into a fool.
