Proverbs 13:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ Every prudent man acts out of knowledge,
    but a fool proudly parades his folly.
¹⁷ An unreliable messenger engenders trouble,
    but a trustworthy envoy brings healing.
¹⁸ Poverty and disgrace befall one who ignores discipline,
    but one who takes correction is honored.
