מוּסָר

And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.

I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.

He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.

Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.

To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.

And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
