Proverbs 15:31-33

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³¹ The ear that listens to the reproof [that leads to or gives] life will remain among the wise.

³² He who refuses and ignores instruction and correction despises himself, but he who heeds reproof gets understanding.

³³ The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord brings instruction in Wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
