  9. The problem of pride • Don’t accept advice or correction Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return.Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.So don’t bother correcting mockers; they will only hate you.But correct the wise, and they will love you. Prov 9:7-8 • How do you react when people tell you that you are wrong?

  10. The problem of pride • Don’t make up for their wrongs Fools make fun of guilt, but the godly acknowledge it and seek reconciliation. Prov 14:9 • Do you frequently admit when you are wrong? Are you willing to take the time to fix your problems?

  11. The cure for Pride My child, listen when your father corrects you.Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.What you learn from them will crown you with graceand be a chain of honor around your neck.Proverbs 1:8-9 Make it the #1 goal of your life to follow God – being wise in all you do.
