Proverbs 10:17

Proverbs 10:17 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

17Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life,

but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.

17One who is on the path of life follows instruction,

But one who ignores a rebuke goes astray.

17He is on the path of life who heeds instruction,

But he who ignores reproof goes astray.

17He who learns from instruction and correction is on the [right] path of life [and for others his example is a path toward wisdom and blessing],

But he who ignores and refuses correction goes off course [and for others his example is a path toward sin and ruin].

17Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life,

but he who ignores reproof goes astray.

17Anyone who pays attention to correction

shows the path to life.

But anyone who refuses to be corrected

leads others down the wrong path.
