Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain to wise counsels:
A fool despises his father's instruction: but he that regards reproof is prudent.
A reproof enters more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.
When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
He that reproves a scorner gets to himself shame: and he that rebukes a wicked man gets himself a blot.
And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.
And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shall you put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
