Proverbs 13:17

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

¹⁶ Every sensible person acts from knowledge, but a fool demonstrates folly. ¹⁷ An evil messenger stumbles into trouble, but a faithful envoy brings healing. ¹⁸ Poverty and shame are for those who ignore correction, but whoever listens to instruction gains honor.
