I hear a reproof putting me to shame; and my spirit answereth me by mine understanding.
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour forth my spirit unto you, I will make known to you my words.
and ye have rejected all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
they would none of my counsel, they despised all my reproof:

Whoso loveth discipline loveth knowledge, but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction; but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
A fool despiseth his father's instruction; but he that regardeth reproof becometh prudent.
Grievous correction is for him that forsaketh the path; he that hateth reproof shall die.
The ear that heareth the reproof of life shall abide among the wise.
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul; but he that heareth reproof getteth sense.
A reproof entereth more deeply into him that hath understanding than a hundred stripes into a fool.
The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look forth to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer as to my reproof.
but had reproof of his own wickedness the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the folly of the prophet.
