Proverbs 13:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵ Good sense brings blessing,
    but the road of the treacherous is long and rough.
¹⁶ A clever person acquires knowledge and then acts on it;
    but a fool advertises his folly for all to see.
¹⁷ An untrustworthy messenger stirs up trouble,
    but a faithful emissary is curative balm.
