will suddenly be destroyed beyond recovery." v1
Criticism is never easy to hear! Especially if it's done in a way that is not constructive. But regardless of how it is done, we should at least look into it and see if there is any truth in the statement. If there is, try to make adjustments, if there isn't, don't dwell on the statement and move on. But be careful, the easy way out would be to ignore or say there is nothing wrong when sometimes there is!
This is what my Life Application Study Bible says,
Warnings rarely come with countdowns. We can't tell when we've had our last chance to change. When we, like the person in this proverb, refuse to consider valid criticism, we leave ourselves open to sudden disaster. The moment we realize that a change is necessary is the best moment to take action. What significant adjustments have been on hold in your life for too long?

Isn't it the best when you watch Christ start making those transformations in you that you have been praying for?!? I'm in the midst of one of those times now and am loving every minute of it. I'm seeing more of him and less of me. It's crazy because I wanted this change so badly, but could not do it on my own, and after many failed attempts my Father stepped in and proved faithful once again.
