He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding. |
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. |
He who neglects discipline despises himself, But he who listens to reproof acquires understanding. |
Proverbs 15:32 |
Commentary
Refusing to listen to godly instruction and discipline oneself is self-destructive. While it is a natural reaction to be defensive to corrective counsel, the wise will accept and heed such godly correction and discipline from their friends and fellow believers.
