Proverbs 13:17-19
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

17 A bad messenger plunges men into trouble,
    but a faithful envoy brings healing.
18 Poverty and disgrace come to him who ignores instruction,
    but he who heeds reproof is honored.
19 A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul;
    but to turn away from evil is an abomination to fools.
