Prov. 15: 1
1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
I'm feeling mad instead of humble, even though I know it was my own fault. More Proverbs 15:
"A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife." (although I'm secretly using this to justify why it's not my problem, but a certain other person's.)
ALSO:
- He that regardeth reproof is prudent
- The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
- He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding
- The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
