He that reproveth a scorner
getteth to himself shame: and he
that rebuketh a wicked man getteth
himself a blot. Reprove not a
scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke
a wise man, and he will love thee.
(Proverbs 9:7,8)
Poverty and shame shall be to him
that refuseth instruction: but he
that regardeth reproof shall be
honoured.
(Proverbs 13:18)
A fool despiseth his father's
instruction: but he that regardeth
reproof is prudent. Correction is
grievous unto him that forsaketh
the way: and he that hateth
reproof shall die. A scorner
loveth not one that reproveth him:
neither will he go unto the wise.
The ear that heareth the reproof
of life abideth among the wise. He
that refuseth instruction
despiseth his own soul: but he
that heareth reproof getteth
understanding.
(Proverbs 15:5,10,12,31,32)
A reproof entereth more into a
wise man than an hundred stripes
into a fool.
(Proverbs 17:10)
When the scorner is
punished, the simple is made wise:
and when the wise is instructed,
he receiveth knowledge.
(Proverbs 21:11)
As an earring of gold,
and an ornament of fine gold, so
is a wise reprover upon an
obedient ear.
(Proverbs 25:12)
Answer a fool according
to his folly, lest he be wise in
his own conceit.
(Proverbs 26:5)
Open rebuke is better than secret
love. Faithful are the wounds of a
friend; but the kisses of an enemy
are deceitful.
(Proverbs 27:5,6)
He that rebuketh a man
afterwards shall find more favour
than he that flattereth with the
tongue.
(Proverbs 28:23)
It is better to hear the
rebuke of the wise, than for a man
to hear the song of fools.
(Ecclesiastes 7:5)
The world cannot hate you; but me
it hateth, because I testify of
it, that the works thereof are
evil.
(John 7:7)
Now we exhort you,
brethren, warn them that are
unruly, comfort the feebleminded,
support the weak, be patient
toward all men.
(1 Thessalonians 5:14)
