'Reprove' in the Bible
“How painful are words of honesty.But what does your argument prove?
“He will surely reprimand youIf you secretly show partiality.
“I do not reprove you for your sacrifices;Your burnt offerings are continually before Me.
“These things you have done and I kept silent;You thought that I was just like you.Now I will reprimand and denounce you and state the case in order before your eyes.
Do not correct a scoffer [who foolishly ridicules and takes no responsibility for his error] or he will hate you;Correct a wise man [who learns from his error], and he will love you.
Strike a scoffer [for refusing to learn], and the naive may [be warned and] become prudent;Reprimand one who has understanding and a teachable spirit, and he will gain knowledge and insight.
Do not add to His words,Or He will reprove you, and you will be found a liar.
“Your own wickedness will discipline you,And your desertion of the faith will punish you.Know therefore that it is an evil and bitter thingFor you to abandon (reject) the Lord your God,And for you to be indifferent to Me and dismiss the [reverent] fear of Me,” says the Lord God of hosts.
Yet let no one find fault, nor let any rebuke [others];For your people are like those who contend with the priest.
