Proverbs 13:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸Those who turn away from their training become poor and ashamed.
But those who accept warnings are honored.

But foolish people hate to turn away from evil.

²⁰Walk with wise people and become wise.
A companion of foolish people suffers harm.
