In Proverbs 13:18, Solomon says, Poverty and shame will come to him who neglects discipline, but he who regards reproof will be honored (v. 18). Discipline is again linked to flourishing, while neglecting correction invites both practical lack and public disgrace.
The one who neglects discipline refuses one of God’s chief means of formation. Without correction, folly grows unchecked. Over time that produces poverty and shame, because undisciplined living weakens both character and stewardship.
But the one who regards reproof will be honored. Honor follows teachability because humility leads to growth, and growth leads to trustworthy living. The path to real dignity passes through correction, not around it.
