PROVERBS 13:16-21

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

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

¹⁸Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth correction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

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

²⁰Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise: but the companion of fools shall smart for it.

²¹Evil pursueth sinners: but the righteous shall be recompensed with good.
