Proverbs 12:1

Whoso is loving instruction, is loving knowledge, And whoso is hating reproof is brutish.

Be ye not as a horse -- as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.

A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; --

The way of Thy precepts cause me to understand, And I meditate in Thy wonders.

Mem. O how I have loved Thy law! All the day it is my meditation.

For wisdom cometh into thy heart, And knowledge to thy soul is pleasant,

And hast said, 'How have I hated instruction, And reproof hath my heart despised,

I love those loving me, And those seeking me earnestly do find me.

And now, ye sons, hearken to me, Yea, happy are they who keep my ways.

The instructor of a scorner Is receiving for it -- shame, And a reprover of the wicked -- his blemish.

Chastisement is grievous to him who is forsaking the path, Whoso is hating reproof dieth.

For an object of desire he who is separated doth seek, With all wisdom he intermeddleth.

An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood.

and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved,
