Proverbs 13:14-20

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.

¹⁸Poverty and disgrace will overtake him that rejecteth correction; but he that observeth admonition will be honored.

¹⁹A desire accomplished is pleasant to the soul; but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

²⁰He that walketh with wise men will become wise; but he that associateth with fools will be destroyed.
