As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold,'so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

Let the righteous smite me, it shall be a kindness; And let him reprove me, it shall be as oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it: For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.

that this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord hath avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

Reprove not a scoffer, lest he hate thee: Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.

A fool despiseth his father's correction; But he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence.

The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life Shall abide among the wise.

The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Jehovah hath made even both of them.

Better is open rebuke Than love that is hidden.
