Proverbs 13:17

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

¹⁶ Every prudent man worketh with knowledge; But a fool flaunteth 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 correction; But he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.
