Proverbs 13:14-16
The Voice

14 Wise instruction is a spring yielding a satisfied life;
    those who follow it avoid the traps that lead to death.
15 Good sense brings blessing,
    but the road of the treacherous is long and rough.
16 A clever person acquires knowledge and then acts on it;
    but a fool advertises his folly for all to see.
