- a wise:
- "My son,ª hearª° the instructionª of thy father,ª and forsakeª° not¹ the lawª of thy mother:ª ... For¹ they¹ [shall be] an ornamentª of graceª unto thy head,ª and chainsª about thy neck.ª" {Prv 1:8-9} + "Reproveª° not¹ a scorner,ª° lest¹ he hateª° thee: rebukeª° a wise man,ª and he will loveª° thee." {Prv 9:8} + "A foolª despisethª° his father'sª instruction:ª but he that regardethª° reproofª is prudent.ª°" {Prv 15:5} + "The earª that hearethª° the reproofª of lifeª abidethª° amongª the wise.ª ... He that refusethª° instructionª despisethª° his own soul:ª but he that hearethª° reproofª gettethª° understanding.ª" {Prv 15:31-32} + "Openª° rebukeª [is] betterª than secretª° love.ª¹ ... Faithfulª° [are] the woundsª of a friend;ª° but the kissesª of an enemyª° [are] deceitful.ª°" {Prv 27:5-6} + "That this¹ shall be¹ no¹ griefª unto thee, nor offenceª of heartª unto my lord,ª either that thou hast shedª° bloodª causeless,ª or that my lordª hath avengedª° himself: but when the LORDª shall have dealt wellª° with my lord,ª then rememberª°¹ thine handmaid.ª ... For in very deed,ª [as] the LORDª Godª of Israelª liveth,ª which¹ hath kept me backª° from hurtingª°¹ thee, exceptª¹ thou hadst hastedª° and comeª° to meetª° me, surely¹ there had not¹ been leftª° unto Nabalª by¹ the morningª lightª any that pissethª° against the wall.ª" {1Sm 25:31-34} + "Let the righteousª smiteª° me; [it shall be] a kindness:ª and let him reproveª° me; [it shall be] an excellentª oil,ª [which] shall not¹ breakª° my head:ª for¹ yet¹ my prayerª also [shall be] in their calamities.ª" {Psa 141:5}
