Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 13 of Proverbs. Delayed desire, instruction, and discipline are closely related. Hope deferred can make the heart sick, but fulfilled desire brings life. The teaching of the wise is compared to a fountain of life that turns a person away from deadly traps. Rejecting correction carries a practical cost, while receiving it preserves knowledge and avoids foreseeable consequences.

Wer Zucht läßt fahren, der hat Armut und Schande; wer sich gerne strafen läßt, wird zu ehren kommen.
Pobreza y vergüenza tendrá el que menosprecia el consejo: Mas el que guarda la corrección, será honrado.
La pauvreté et la honte sont le partage de celui qui rejette la correction, Mais celui qui a égard à la réprimande est honoré.
Povertà ed ignominia avverranno a chi schifa la correzione; Ma chi osserva la riprensione sarà onorato
Pobreza e afronta virão ao que rejeita a instrução, mas o que guarda a repreensão será honrado.
棄絕管教的,必貧窮受辱; 領受責備的,必享尊榮。
