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 correct me, it is oil on my head, let not my head refuse it; for still my prayer also shall be against their wickedness.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; therefore be zealous and repent.
For truly they chastened us for a few days according to their own pleasure, but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness.
He who hides hatred with lying lips, and he who speaks a slander, is a fool.
The stripes of a wound cleanses away evil, and strokes the inward parts of the belly.
The full soul despises a honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
He who rebukes a man shall afterwards find more favor than he who flatters with the tongue.
