32 Those who disregard discipline despise themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.
32 Whoever ignores instruction despises himself, but he who listens to reproof gains intelligence.
32 An undisciplined, self-willed life is puny; an obedient, God-willed life is spacious.
32 He who disdains instruction despises his own soul, But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.
32 If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.

Commentary on Proverbs 15:32
(Read Proverbs 15:32)
Sinners undervalue their own souls; therefore they prefer the body before the soul, and wrong the soul to please the body.
