TSK · Proverbs 17:10

Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don't let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

A wise son listens to his father's instruction, but a scoffer doesn't listen to rebuke.

Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

A servant can't be corrected by words. Though he understands, yet he will not respond.
