Psalms 32:8-9

8 I will ainstruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will bcounsel you with my eye upon you.
9 cBe not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
which must be curbed with dbit and bridle,
or it will not stay near you.

Proverbs 8:10

10 eTake my instruction instead of silver,
and knowledge rather than choice gold,

Proverbs 19:20

20Listen to advice and accept instruction,
that you may gain wisdom in fthe future.

Isaiah 28:9-12

9 g“To whom will he teach knowledge,
and to whom will he explain the message?
Those who are weaned from the milk,
those taken from the breast?
10For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little.”
11 hFor by people of strange lips
and with a foreign tongue
the Lord will speak to this people,
12to whom he has said,
iThis is rest;
give rest to the weary;
and this is repose”;
yet they would not hear.

Jeremiah 5:3

3O Lord, do not your eyes look for truth?
jYou have struck them down,
but they felt no anguish;
you have consumed them,
but they refused to take correction.
kThey have made their faces harder than rock;
they have refused to repent.

Jeremiah 6:8-10

8Be warned, O Jerusalem,
llest I turn from you in disgust,
lest I make you ma desolation,
an uninhabited land.”
9 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
n“They shall glean thoroughly as a vine
the remnant of Israel;
like a grape gatherer pass your hand again
over its branches.”
10 oTo whom shall I speak and give warning,
that they may hear?
pBehold, their ears are uncircumcised,
qthey cannot listen;
behold, rthe word of the Lord is to them an object of scorn;
they take no pleasure in it.

Jeremiah 9:12

12 sWho is the man so wise that he can understand this? To whom has the mouth of the Lord spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined tand laid waste like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?

Jeremiah 32:33

33 uThey have turned to me their back and not their face. And though I have taught them vpersistently, they have not listened wto receive instruction.
