Proverbs 13:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ People with good understanding will be well liked,
    but the lives of those who are not trustworthy are hard.

¹⁶ Every wise person acts with good sense,
    but fools show how foolish they are.

¹⁷ A wicked messenger brings nothing but trouble,
    but a trustworthy one makes everything right.
