'Penalty' in the Bible

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself [for your own benefit];If you scoff [thoughtlessly ridicule and disdain], you alone will pay the penalty.

The one who has contempt for instruction will pay the penalty,but the one who respects a command will be rewarded.

A person with great anger bears the penalty;if you rescue him, you’ll have to do it again.

A prudent man sees evil and hides himself,The naive proceed and pay the penalty.
