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 instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
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.
Open rebuke is better than secret love.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
