Proverbs 17:10
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Proverbs 9:8,9 Give an occasion to a wise man, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach a just man, and he shall make haste to receive it. . . .

Proverbs 13:1 A wise son heareth the doctrine of his father: but he that is a scorner, heareth not when he is reproved.

Proverbs 15:5 A fool laugheth at the instruction of his father: but he that regardeth reproofs shall become prudent. In abundant justice there is the greatest strength: but the devices of the wicked shall be rooted out.

Proverbs 19:25 The wicked man being scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man, he will understand discipline.

Proverbs 27:22 Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly would not be taken from him.

Proverbs 29:19 A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.

Psalm 141:5 The just man shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:

Revelation 3:19 Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore and do penance.
