He who spurns discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever accepts correction will be honored.
He who walks with wise men is wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

Incline your ear and come to Me. Listen, so that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the trustworthy loyalty to David.
