Proverbs 13:16-18

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁶ Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge:
    but a fool layeth open his folly.

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

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