Proverbs 23:12

Learning From Your Father

¹¹ For their saviour is strong, and he will take up their cause against you. ¹² Give your heart to teaching, and your ears to the words of knowledge. ¹³ Do not keep back training from the child: for even if you give him blows with the rod, it will not be death to him.

Apply Your Heart

Ears to Hear

And they come to you as my people come, and are seated before you as my people, hearing your words but doing them not: for deceit is in their mouth and their heart goes after profit for themselves.

And he said to them, For this reason every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house, who gives out from his store things new and old.
