Proverbs 13:16-18

Lexham English Bible

¹⁶ Anyone who is clever will act with intelligence,
    but the fool will display folly.
¹⁷ A messenger of wickedness will fall into trouble,
    but an envoy of the faithful brings healing.
¹⁸ Poverty and disgrace belong to him who ignores instruction,
    but he who guards reproof will be honored.
