Proverbs 10:8

The ^awise of heart will receive commandments,

But an ignorant fool of loose lips will be ¹ruined.

Proverbs 10:17

He ^ais on the path of life who keeps discipline,

But he who forsakes reproof makes ¹himself wander about.

Whoever loves ¹discipline loves knowledge,

But he who hates reproof is senseless.

The ^away of an ignorant fool is right in his own eyes,

But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.

A ^awise son accepts his father’s discipline,

But a ^bscoffer does not listen to rebuke.

The one who ^adespises the word will be ¹in debt to it,

But the one who fears the commandment will be ^brewarded.

Poverty and disgrace come to him who ^aneglects ¹discipline,

But he who keeps reproof will be honored.

An ignorant fool spurns his father’s discipline,

But he who keeps reproof is prudent.

Grievous discipline is for him who forsakes the way;

He who hates reproof will die.

A ^ascoffer does not love one who reproves him,

He will not go to the wise.

He whose ear listens to the life‑giving reproof

Will lodge among the wise.

He who ^aneglects discipline ^bdespises his soul,

But he who ^clistens to reproof acquires a heart of wisdom.
