Proverbs 13:15-21

¹⁵A good understanding winneth favor; But the way of transgressors is hard.

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

¹⁷A wicked messenger falleth into trouble; But a faithful ambassador is health.

¹⁸Poverty and shame are for him who rejecteth instruction; But he that regardeth reproof shall come to honor.

¹⁹The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.

²⁰He who walketh with wise men shall be wise; But the companion of fools shall be destroyed.

²¹Calamity pursueth the wicked; But the righteous is rewarded with good.
