reproof

The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.

Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.

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.

A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.

The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

For a manifest reproof of that commandment, whereby the infants were slain, thou gavest unto them abundance of water by a means which they hoped not for:

There is a reproof that is not comely: again, some man holdeth his tongue, and he is wise.

This is the book of the words of righteousness, and of the reproof of the Watchers, who belong to the world, according to that which He, who is holy and great, commanded in the vision. I perceived in my dream, that I was now speaking with a tongue of flesh, and with my breath, which the Mighty One has put into the mouth of men, that they might converse with it.
