Proverbs 13:13-17

¹³Whoso despiseth the word shall fall in debt to it; but he that feareth the commandment will be rewarded.

¹⁴The instruction of the wise is a source of life, teaching to avoid the snares of death.

¹⁵Good intelligence giveth grace; but the way of the treacherous is hard.

¹⁶Every prudent man acteth with knowledge; but a fool spreadeth abroad his folly.

¹⁷A wicked messenger falleth into unhappiness; but a faithful ambassador bringeth healing.
