Proverbs 13:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ If you refuse criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if you accept criticism, you are on the road to fame.

¹⁹ It is pleasant to see plans develop. That is why fools refuse to give them up even when they are wrong.

²⁰ Be with wise men and become wise. Be with evil men and become evil.
