Proverbs 13:17-19

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁷ A wicked messenger falls into adversity,
But ^(A)a faithful envoy brings healing.
¹⁸ Poverty and shame will come to him who ^(B)neglects ^[a]discipline,
But he who regards reproof will be honored.
¹⁹ Desire realized is sweet to the soul,
But it is an abomination to fools to turn away from evil.
