Proverbs 12:1
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.
BSB
ASV
Whoso loveth correction loveth knowledge; But he that hateth reproof is brutish.
KJV
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
Brutish - Dumb as a brute beast. The difference between man and brute lies chiefly in the capacity of the former for progress and improvement, and that capacity depends upon his willingness to submit to discipline and education. Compare Psa 49:12.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
