Proverbs 13:15-21

¹⁵Wise behaviour gets approval, but the way of the false is their destruction.

¹⁶A sharp man does everything with knowledge, but a foolish man makes clear his foolish thoughts.

¹⁷A man taking false news is a cause of trouble, but he who gives news rightly makes things well.

¹⁸Need and shame will be the fate of him who is uncontrolled by training; but he who takes note of teaching will be honoured.

¹⁹To get one's desire is sweet to the soul, but to give up evil is disgusting to the foolish.

²⁰Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.

²¹Evil will overtake sinners, but the upright will be rewarded with good.
