A wise

Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction,
and don’t reject your mother’s teaching,

Don’t rebuke a mocker, or he will hate you;
rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.

A fool despises his father’s discipline,
but a person who accepts correction is sensible.

Better an open reprimand
than concealed love.

there will not be remorse or a troubled conscience for my lord because of needless bloodshed or my lord’s revenge. And when the Lord does good things for my lord, may you remember me your servant.”

Let the righteous one strike me—
it is an act of faithful love;
let him rebuke me—
it is oil for my head;
let me not refuse it.
Even now my prayer is against
the evil acts of the wicked.

his tongue speaks what is just.

teach a righteous man, and he will learn more.

From the fruit of his mouth a man’s stomach is satisfied;
he is filled with the product of his lips.
