'Reproof' in the Bible
How painful are {upright words}! But what does {your reproof} reprove?
You have ignored all my counsel, and my reproof you are not willing [to accept].
they were not willing [to accept] my counsel, they despised all my reproof.
Do not despise the discipline of Yahweh, my child. Do not be weary of his reproof
and say "How I hated discipline, and I despised reproof!"
For [like] a lamp [is] a commandment, and instruction [is] light, and the way of life [is the] reproof of discipline,
Poverty and disgrace [belong to] him who ignores instruction, but he who guards reproof will be honored.
A fool will despise the instruction of his father, but he who guards reproof is prudent.
As for a rod and reproof, they will give wisdom, but a neglected child is disgraced [by] his mother.
Are you not from of old, O Yahweh my God, my Holy One? You shall not die. O Yahweh, you have marked them for judgment; O Rock, you have established them for reproof.
