A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemyare deceitful.
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord Gwill wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the L hath spoken it.
Thy rebukehath brokenmy heart;Iam full of heaviness: I looked for some to have pity on me, but there was no man, neither found I any to comfort me. They gave me gall to eat: and when I was thirsty they gave me vinegar to drink.
