Proverbs 13:17

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

¹⁶ Every prudent man acteth with knowledge; but the foolish layeth open his folly. ¹⁷ A wicked messenger falleth into evil; but a faithful ambassador is health. ¹⁸ Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction; but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
