箴言 知恵の泉 29
1 しばしば責られてもなほ強項なる者は救はるることなくして猝然に滅されん
The man who, with a stiff neck, treats the one who corrects him with contempt will be suddenly overwhelmed to his own destruction, and reason shall not follow him.

A servant cannot be taught by words, because he understands what you say, but he disdains to respond.
20 なんぢ言を謹まざる人を見しや 彼よりは却て愚なる者に望あり
Have you seen a man rushing to speak? Foolishness has more hope than his correction.
