The wise are willing to listen. Proverbs 15:5 continues the question of teachability, challenging stubbornness and inviting us to love God’s instruction, seek correction, and open our hearts to His Word.

Proverbs 13:1 contrasts a wise son who receives instruction with a scoffer who rejects rebuke. Listen to your Heavenly Father with humility, letting His Word convict, shape, and transform you.
