Proverbs 13:1

World English Bible

13 A wise son listens to his father’s instruction,
but a scoffer doesn’t listen to rebuke.

Proverbs 13:1

New Living Translation

13 A wise child accepts a parent’s discipline;^[a]
a mocker refuses to listen to correction.

¹⁰Pride only breeds quarrels,
but wisdom is with people who take advice.

¹⁰Pride leads to conflict;
those who take advice are wise.

¹³Whoever despises instruction will pay for it,
but he who respects a command will be rewarded.

¹³People who despise advice are asking for trouble;
those who respect a command will succeed.

¹⁸Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline,
but he who heeds correction shall be honored.

¹⁸If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace;
if you accept correction, you will be honored.
