He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

Verse 32 is found in chapter 15 of Proverbs. The final section connects counsel, prayer, humility, and the fear of the Lord. Plans fail when counsel is absent, but they are established through prudent deliberation. The Lord hears the prayer of the righteous and remains far from wicked thoughts. The conclusion presents humility as a path to honor and connects correction with acquiring wisdom.

Wer sich nicht ziehen läßt, der macht sich selbst zunichte; wer aber auf Strafe hört, der wird klug.
El que tiene en poco la disciplina, menosprecia su alma: Mas el que escucha la corrección, tiene entendimiento.
Quien rechaza la disciplina desprecia su propia vida, pero quien escucha la corrección adquiere entendimiento.
Celui qui rejette la correction méprise son âme, Mais celui qui écoute la réprimande acquiert l'intelligence.
Chi schifa la correzione disdegna l’anima sua; Ma chi ascolta la riprensione acquista senno
O que rejeita a instrução menospreza a própria alma, mas o que escuta a repreensão adquire entendimento.
棄絕管教的,輕看自己的生命; 領受責備的,卻得智慧的心。
