A wise son {heareth} his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. {reproved: or, discovered}

And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, {Art} thou he that troubleth Israel?

And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, {There is} yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. {revolt...: Heb. increase revolt}

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
