Proverbs 13:18; Proverbs 15:31–32; Psalm 141:5

18  Poverty and disgrace come to him who tignores instruction,

ubut whoever vheeds reproof is honored.


31  eThe ear that listens to flife-giving reproof

will dwell among the wise.

32  Whoever gignores instruction hdespises himself,

but he who listens to reproof igains intelligence.


cLet a righteous man strike meit is a kindness;

let him rebuke meit is oil for my head;

let my head not refuse it.

Yet dmy prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
