Proverbs 15:32
Proverbs 15:32
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
Proverbs 15:32 reminds us of the importance of listening to wisdom: "He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding." Rejection of wisdom is a rejection of life itself, as it leads to ignorance and destruction. Those who are willing to listen to instruction, who are open to correction, are the ones who gain understanding. True wisdom comes from humility—the willingness to learn and grow. When we allow ourselves to be taught by God’s Word and by those He places in our lives to guide us, we become more aligned with His will and purpose.
Romans 5:12
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Proverbs 29:11
A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
James 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Proverbs 18:15
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
