The senseless spurns his father’s discipline, but whoever heeds reproof is shrewd.
In context
3The eyes of Yahweh are in every place, watching the evil and the good. 4A healing tongue is a tree of life, but a twisted one breaks the spirit. 5The senseless spurns his father’s discipline, but whoever heeds reproof is shrewd. 6In the house of the righteous there is great store, but the income of the wicked brings trouble. 7The lips of the wise scatter knowledge; the heart of fools does no such thing.
