Proverbs 13:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ Careful people need to understand what they are doing.
    But a fool quickly shows how foolish he is.
¹⁷ If you send a message with a wicked person, he will cause trouble.
    But if you send someone that you can trust, he will bring peace.
¹⁸ Anyone who turns away from good teaching will become poor and ashamed.
    But if you accept advice when you do something wrong, people will respect you.
