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.

²² Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed;
But in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

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.
³³ The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom;
And before honor goeth humility.
