'Reproof' in the Bible
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
Whoso loveth instruction 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 is prudent.
Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
