Proverbs 13:18-20

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸ All who refuse correction
    will be poor and disgraced;
all who accept correction
    will be praised.
¹⁹ It's a good feeling
    to get what you want,
but only a stupid fool
    hates to turn from evil.
^20 (A) Wise friends make you wise,
but you hurt yourself
    by going around with fools.
