| If you would seriously consider my reproof, I would pour out my thoughts to you and make my precepts known to you. | Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. |
| Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but the one who hates correction is stupid. | Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. |
|
| A fool spurns his father’s correction, but whoever heeds admonition is prudent. | A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. |
| Whoever heeds admonition is on the path to life, but anyone who rejects correction goes astray. | He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. |
| All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in uprightness, so that the man of God may be proficient and equipped for good work of every kind. | 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. |
| My son, do not ignore the Lord’s discipline or refuse to accept his rebuke. For the Lord disciplines those whom he loves, just as a father chastises a beloved son. | 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. |
