Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid.

“ How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge.

Because you disdained all my counsel, And would have none of my rebuke,

And the prophets, do they live forever?Yet surely My words and My statutes, Which I commanded My servants the prophets, Did they not overtake your fathers?“ So they returned and said:‘ Just as the Lord of hosts determined to do to us, According to our ways and according to our deeds, So He has dealt with us.’”’”

I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.

Because you have forsaken the Lord, He also has forsaken you.’”So they conspired against him, and at the command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the Lord.Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son; and as he died, he said,“ The Lord look on it, and repay!”

And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong,“ Why are you striking your companion?”Then he said,“ Who made you a prince and a judge over us?

“ But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear.Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. Thus great wrath came from the Lord of hosts.Therefore it happened, that just as He proclaimed and they would not hear, so they called out and I would not listen,” says the Lord of hosts.“ But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they had not known. Thus the land became desolate after them, so that no one passed through or returned; for they made the pleasant land desolate.”

Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the Lord,They would have none of my counsel And despised my every rebuke.
