¹⁷ He ^[a]is in the way of life that heedeth ^[b]correction;
But he that forsaketh reproof ^[c]erreth.

12 Whoso loveth ^[a]correction loveth knowledge;
But he that hateth reproof is brutish.

13 A wise son heareth his father’s ^[a]instruction;
But a scoffer heareth not rebuke.

¹⁸ Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth ^[a]correction;
But he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.

⁵ A fool despiseth his father’s ^[a]correction;
But he that regardeth reproof ^[b]getteth prudence.

¹⁰ There is grievous correction for him that forsaketh the way;
And he that hateth reproof shall die.

¹² A scoffer loveth not to be reproved;
He will not go unto the wise.

³¹ The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life
Shall abide among the wise.
³² He that refuseth ^[a]correction despiseth his own soul;
But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth ^[b]understanding.

¹⁰ A rebuke entereth deeper into one that hath understanding
Than a hundred stripes into a fool.

²⁰ Hear counsel, and receive ^[a]instruction,
That thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
