Proverbs 13:15

Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

The king’s favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
