Proverbs 13:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
¹⁹ It is very nice to receive the things that you want.
    But foolish people refuse to stop doing evil things.
