12 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

³² For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

¹⁷ He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
