Proverbs 13:16-18

American Standard Version

¹⁶ Every prudent man worketh with knowledge;
But a fool flaunteth his folly.
¹⁷ A wicked messenger falleth into evil;
But a faithful ambassador is health.
¹⁸ Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth ^[a]correction;
But he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.
