Proverbs 13:16-18

21st Century 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 with him that refuseth instruction, but he that hath regard for reproof shall be honored.
