6 Bible Verses about Rejection Of Spiritual Instruction

And it happened [that] the runners were passing from city to city in the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and up to Zebulun, but they were laughing at them and mocking them.

But they were mocking the messengers of God and despising his words and scoffing at his prophets until the wrath of Yahweh rose against his people until there was no remedy.

while you yourself hate discipline, and cast my words behind you?

Fear of Yahweh [is the] beginning of knowledge; wisdom and instruction, fools despise.

"{How long}, O simple ones, will you love simplicity? And [how long] will scoffers delight in their scoffing, and fools hate knowledge?

and say "How I hated discipline, and I despised reproof!"
