291 Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed-without remedy.
291 He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing.
291 For people who hate discipline and only get more stubborn, There'll come a day when life tumbles in and they break, but by then it'll be too late to help them.
291 He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
291 Whoever stubbornly refuses to accept criticism will suddenly be destroyed beyond recovery.

(Read Proverbs 29:1)
If God wounds, who can heal? The word of God warns all to flee from the wrath to come, to the hope set before us in Jesus Christ.
