The ear that hears the reproof of life abides among the wise.
A fool despises his father's instruction: but he that regards reproof is prudent.
As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days.
He that walks with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
The light of the eyes rejoices the heart: and a good report makes the bones healthy.
He that refuses instruction despises his own soul: but he that hears reproof gets understanding.
The heart of the prudent gets knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses instruction: but he that regards reproof shall be honored.
