Regards Reproof

Proverbs 13:18  Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses instruction: but he that regards reproof shall be honoured. 

‘Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses instruction: but he that regards reproof shall be honoured.’ Poverty and shame come to him that rejects correction, but an honour to him that profits from his mistakes. The righteous man accumulates knowledge so that he can better serve God, but the wicked refuse correction and instruction because correction is painful to the backslider (10:17; 15:10). He who rejects advice hates his own soul, but the one who profits by it gets wisdom and understanding and shall be a companion of the wise (15:31-32).

True riches: Riches of His grace (Eph. 1:7). Riches of the glory of the inheritance in the saints (Eph. 1:18). Unsearchable riches of Christ (Eph. 3:8). Riches of glory (Eph. 3:16; Rom. 9:23). Riches of His goodness (Rom. 2:4). Riches of wisdom, knowledge (Rom. 11:33). Riches in glory (Php. 4:19). Riches of the glory of the mystery of Christ in you (Col. 1:27). Riches of the full assurance of understanding of God’s mystery (Col. 2:2). Reproach of Christ greater riches than in Egypt (Heb. 11:26).
