Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray.
The Path of Life
Proverbs contains many exhortations not to despise or reject the discipline of the Lord. We may find it easy to discard the criticism of others without considering God may be speaking to us through them.
God's way, the way of wisdom, calls us to receive criticism or discipline ("reproof") with grace, and allow it to transform us.
God's Promise
Proverbs 23:24
"The ear that listens to life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise."
