PROVERBS 13:13-17

¹³Whoso despiseth the word bringeth destruction on himself: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

¹⁴The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

¹⁵Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of the treacherous is rugged.

¹⁶Every prudent man worketh with knowledge: but a fool spreadeth out folly.

¹⁷A wicked messenger falleth into evil: but a faithful ambassador is health.
