Proverbs 13:17-19
Tree of Life Version

The Wise and the Foolish

17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
but a faithful envoy brings healing.
18 He who spurns discipline comes to poverty and shame,
but whoever accepts correction will be honored.

19 A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul,
but fools detest turning away from evil.
