Proverbs 13:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶ A clever person acquires knowledge and then acts on it;
    but a fool advertises his folly for all to see.
¹⁷ An untrustworthy messenger stirs up trouble,
    but a faithful emissary is curative balm.
¹⁸ A person who turns from correction faces poverty and shame,
    but one who regards constructive criticism is well respected.
