Hear instruction, and be wise. Don't refuse it.
She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:
that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:
My son, listen to your father's instruction, and don't forsake your mother's teaching:
He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.
Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
Listen, sons, to a father's instruction. Pay attention and know understanding;
My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding:
See that you don't refuse him who speaks. For if they didn't escape when they refused him who warned on the Earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
