Proverbs 9:8

Let the righteous smite me in lovingkindness and reprove me; It is oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it, For still my prayer is against their evil deeds.

The wise of heart will receive commandments, But an ignorant fool of loose lips will be ruined.

A wise son accepts his father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.

Strike a scoffer and the simple may become prudent, But reprove one who has understanding and he will understand knowledge.

But they were silent and answered him not a word, for the king’s commandment was, “Do not answer him.”
