Proverbs 15:32

WisdomHumility

30 The light of the eyes cheers the heart, and good news nourishes the bones.

31 He who listens to life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise.

He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.

33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
