Proverbs 15:31-32

But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.

Proverbs 5:9-14

9 Lest you give your [a]honor to others,
And your years to the cruel one;
10 Lest aliens be filled with your [b]wealth,
And your labors go to the house of a foreigner;
11 And you mourn at last,
When your flesh and your body are consumed,
12 And say:
“How I have hated instruction,
And my heart despised correction!
13 I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,
Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!
14 I was on the verge of total ruin,
In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”

Hebrews 12:25

25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For (A)if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,

Jeremiah 5:3-9
New King James Version
3 O Lord, are not (A)Your eyes on the truth?
You have (B)stricken them,
But they have not grieved;
You have consumed them,
But (C)they have refused to receive correction.
They have made their faces harder than rock;
They have refused to return.
4 Therefore I said, “Surely these are poor.
They are foolish;
For (D)they do not know the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.
5 I will go to the great men and speak to them,
For (E)they have known the way of the Lord,
The judgment of their God.”
But these have altogether (F)broken the yoke
And burst the bonds.
6 Therefore (G)a lion from the forest shall slay them,
(H)A wolf of the deserts shall destroy them;
(I)A leopard will watch over their cities.
Everyone who goes out from there shall be torn in pieces,
Because their transgressions are many;
Their backslidings have increased.
7 “How shall I pardon you for this?
Your children have forsaken Me
And (J)sworn by those (K)that are not gods.
(L)When I had fed them to the full,
Then they committed adultery
And assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
8 (M)They were like well-fed lusty stallions;
Every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife.
9 Shall I not punish them for these things?” says the Lord.
“And shall I not (N)avenge Myself on such a nation as this?
Psalm 141:5
New King James Version
5 (A)Let the righteous strike me;
It shall be a kindness.
And let him rebuke me;
It shall be as excellent oil;
Let my head not refuse it.
For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.
