Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Let the righteous strike 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 against their evil.
He that hides hatred with lying lips, and he that utters a slander, is a fool.
Blows of a wound cleanse away evil: as do stripes the inner depths of the heart.
The full soul loathes a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
He that rebukes a man shall find more favor afterwards than he that flatters with the tongue.
For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
