The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me. (Selah)
Poverty and shame (shall be to) him that refuseth correction; But he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.
The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life Shall abide among the wise.
He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.
Better is open rebuke Than love that is hidden.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are profuse.
He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor Than he that flattereth with the tongue.
