The ear that listens to life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise.Whoever ignores instruction despises himself, but he who listens to reproof gains intelligence.

Let a righteous man strike me— it is a kindness; let him rebuke me— it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it. Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.

Poverty and disgrace come to him who ignores instruction, but whoever heeds reproof is honored.

I am the talk of those who sit in the gate, and the drunkards make songs about me.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.

Whoever despises the word brings destruction on himself, but he who reveres the commandment will be rewarded.

Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.

Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.
