Remedy of Reproof

Read:  Psalm 127 / Proverbs 6 / Numbers 26  / James 5

Psalm 127:3-5 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD... As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man... they shall... speak with the enemies in the gate.
Proverbs 6:15,23 Suddenly shall he be broken without remedy...  reproofs of instruction are the way of life. 
Numbers 26:10,11 The earth opened... and swallowed... Korah... Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not.
James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

A person who will heed reproof
Before correction is too late
Shall not unwisely stand aloof
When enemies are at the gate. 

As Korah's children perished not
Who turned away from condemnation,
Reproof shall save the happy lot
Who trust in Christ and His salvation.
