10  ^aCorrection is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.

  7  Ye see that ye have not power to slay me, therefore I finish my ^amessage. Yea, and I perceive that it cuts you to your hearts because I tell you the truth concerning your iniquities.

  2  And it came to pass that I said unto them that I knew that I had spoken hard things against the wicked, according to the truth; and the righteous have I justified, and testified that they should be lifted up at the last day; wherefore, the guilty taketh the ^ctruth to be hard, for it cutteth them to the very center.

  28  And in fine, wo unto all those who tremble, and are ^aangry because of the truth of God! For behold, he that is built upon the rock receiveth it with gladness; and he that is built upon a sandy foundation trembleth lest he shall fall.

  5  And it speaketh ^aharshly against sin, according to the plainness of the truth; wherefore, no man will be angry at the words which I have written save he shall be of the spirit of the devil.

  1  The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the ^brighteous are bold as a lion.
