Prov 22:15 Foolishness Is Bound in the Heart of a Child;

CORRECTION

(the desirous state of Christian)

Prov 22:15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child;

but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

James 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

REPROOF GETS UNDERSTANDINGProv 15:31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. Prov 15:32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

REPROVE THEMEph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Withhold not correction from the child Prov 23:12 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge. Prov 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Prov 23:14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. Prov 23:15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine. Prov 23:16 Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things. Prov 23:17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. Prov 23:18 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. Prov 23:19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. Prov 23:20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:

whom the LORD loveth he correcteth Prov 3:11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: Prov 3:12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Prov 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. Prov 3:14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. Prov 3:15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Prov 3:16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Prov 3:17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. Prov 3:18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. Prov 3:19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. Prov 3:20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. Prov 3:21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: Prov 3:22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.

Behold, happy is the man whom God correctethJob 5:3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. Job 5:4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them. Job 5:5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance. Job 5:6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; Job 5:7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. Job 5:8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: Job 5:9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: Job 5:10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: Job 5:11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. Job 5:12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. Job 5:13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. Job 5:14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night. Job 5:15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. Job 5:16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: Job 5:18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. Job 5:19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

he that regardeth reproof is prudent Prov 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. Prov 15:2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. Prov 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. Prov 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. Prov 15:5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. Prov 15:6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. Prov 15:7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. Prov 15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. Prov 15:9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. Prov 15:10 Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die. Prov 15:11 Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest Prov 29:15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. Prov 29:16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall. Prov 29:17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. Prov 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Prov 29:19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer. Prov 29:20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him. Prov 29:21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length. Prov 29:22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. Prov 29:23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine 2 Tim 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Tim 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Tim 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Tim 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 2 Tim 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2 Tim 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

THEY ARE FILLED WITH THEIR OWN DEVICESProv 1:30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Prov 1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

WE SHOULD LOVE REPROOFProv 12:1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

REPROOF IS PRUDENTProv 15:5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
