Proverbs 13:17

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

¹⁶ A wise man doth all things with discretion; but a fool will declare his folly. ¹⁷ An ungodly messenger bringeth mischief; but a faithful ambassador is wholesome. ¹⁸ He that thinketh scorn to be reformed, cometh to poverty and shame; but whoso receiveth correction, shall come to honour.
