Proverbs 23:9

World English Bible

⁹Don’t speak in the ears of a fool,
for he will despise the wisdom of your words.

Proverbs 25:12

World English Bible

¹²As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold,
so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.

⁵Better is open rebuke
than hidden love.
⁶The wounds of a friend are faithful,
although the kisses of an enemy are profuse.

¹⁷Iron sharpens iron;
so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.

29 He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck
will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.
