Proverbs 12:1

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.

Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.

The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this:

Make me understand the way of your precepts, and I will meditate on your wondrous works.

Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day.

for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;

and you say, "How I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof!

I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.

"And now, O sons, listen to me: blessed are those who keep my ways.

Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.

There is severe discipline for him who forsakes the way; whoever hates reproof will die.

Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.

The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master's crib, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand."

and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
