Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who ignores reproof goes astray.
BSB
ASV
He is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth.
KJV
He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
literally, A way of life is he that keepeth instruction. The verb “erreth” is better rendered in the margin. The influence for good or evil spreads beyond the man himself.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
