Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Proverbs 15:32:

and the one who loves/accepts to be advised, gets understanding/wisdom.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “Those who have no concern for discipline
destroy themselves.
A person who corrects his mistake is wise.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “A man despises himself if he does- not -pay-attention to the rebuking of him to straighten his behavior, but if he listens, he can-possess/gain/obtain understanding.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

those who pay attention/heed when others warn them become wiser/acquire good sense.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
