Proverbs 13:17-19

New King James Version

¹⁷ A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
But ^(A)a faithful ambassador brings health.

¹⁸ Poverty and shame will come to him who ^[a]disdains correction,
But ^(B)he who regards a rebuke will be honored.

¹⁹ A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul,
But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.
