A wise son hears his father’s instruction,
but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
Proverbs 13:1 ESV
Here’s a take home test. Do you listen to instruction or bristle at rebuke? Your answer to this question will help you understand better if you are wise or foolish.
“No one likes being rebuked!” is a common response here. However, the author has mind a satisfaction and appreciation for being corrected, not a “I really like it when you tell me I’m wrong or have sinned.”
How do you react when being rebuked? Do you have ears to hear or do you push it off?
