Context of Proverbs 15:32
30That which enlighteneth the eyes rejoiceth the heart; good tidings make the bones fat. 31The ear that heareth the reproof of life shall abide among the wise. He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul; but he that heareth reproof getteth sense. 33The fear of Jehovah is the discipline of wisdom, and before honour [goeth] humility.
