Proverbs 13:17-19

The Voice

¹⁷ An untrustworthy messenger stirs up trouble,
    but a faithful emissary is curative balm.
¹⁸ A person who turns from correction faces poverty and shame,
    but one who regards constructive criticism is well respected.
¹⁹ A dream fulfilled is the sweetness of life,
    but abandoning evil is repulsive to fools.
