Proverbs 13:13-17

¹³Those who despise the good advice that others give them are bringing ruin on themselves; those who pay attention to that advice will ◄be secure/succeed►.

¹⁴What wise people teach is like a fountain whose water gives life MET; what they teach you will help you to escape when something dangerous is threatening to kill you MET.

¹⁵People respect those who have good sense, but those who cannot be trusted are on the road to being ruined/destroyed (OR, will have a lot of difficulties/troubles).

¹⁶Those who have good sense always think carefully/wisely before they do something; foolish people show by what they say and do that they are foolish.

¹⁷Messengers who are not reliable cause trouble, but those who faithfully deliver their messages cause people to act peacefully.
