Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge; but he who hates correction is brutish.

A wise son hears his father's instruction, but a scorner does not heed rebuke.

They struck me, but I was not hurt; they beat me, but I did not feel it. When I awake, I will ask for more; to do it again.

And it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is that you, O troubler of Israel?

So Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of Jehovah:

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so!

For everyone practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

The world cannot hate you; but it hates Me because I bear witness of it that its works are evil.

They did not desire my counsel; they despised all my reproof.

and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised correction;

He who heeds instruction is in the way of life, but he who forsakes reproof wanders.

Why will you be stricken any more? Will you rebel more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart is faint.

From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it; only wounds and bruises and fresh stripes; they have not been closed nor bound up, nor has it been softened with oil.

In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you, and you were not cleansed, you will not be cleansed of your filthiness anymore, till I have caused My fury to rest upon you.

I, Jehovah, have spoken it; it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not hold back, nor will I spare, nor will I have compassion; according to your ways and according to your deeds they will judge you, declares the Lord Jehovah.
