Proverbs 13:17

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

¹⁶ Every prudent one dealeth with knowledge, And a fool spreadeth out folly. ¹⁷ A wicked messenger falleth into evil, And a faithful ambassador is healing. ¹⁸ Whoso is refusing instruction -- poverty and shame, And whoso is observing reproof is honoured.
