Proverbs 13:17-19

World English Bible

¹⁷ A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
    but a trustworthy envoy gains healing.
¹⁸ Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline,
    but he who heeds correction shall be honored.
¹⁹ Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul,
    but fools detest turning from evil.
