³¹ The ear that listens to reproof lives,
and will be at home among the wise.

³² He who refuses correction despises his own soul,
but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 15:31-32

Faithful, friendly reproofs help spiritual life, and lead to eternal life.

Sinners undervalue their own souls; therefore they prefer the body before the soul, and wrong the soul to please the body.
