| Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. | Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings. |
| Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. | Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid. |
|
| A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. | A fool spurns a parent’s discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence. |
| He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. | Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray. |
| All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. | All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. |
| My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. | My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. |
