"He who will not be controlled by training has no respect for his soul, but he who gives ear to teaching will get wisdom."
— Proverbs 15:32, Bible in Basic English
“He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.”
“He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.”
“He that rejecteth instruction, despiseth his own soul: but he that yieldeth to reproof, possesseth understanding.”
“He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.”
The Lord is far from sinners, but his ear is open to the prayer of the upright.
The light of the eyes is a joy to the heart, and good news makes the bones fat.
The man whose ear is open to the teaching of life will have his place among the wise.
He who will not be controlled by training has no respect for his soul, but he who gives ear to teaching will get wisdom.
The fear of the Lord is the teaching of wisdom; and a low opinion of oneself goes before honour.
