Proverbs 13:17-19

Modern English Version

¹⁷ A wicked messenger falls into mischief,
    but a faithful envoy is health.

¹⁸ Poverty and shame will be to him who refuses instruction,
    but he who regards reproof will be honored.

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