Proverbs 13:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷ Disaster will catch up to the wicked messenger, but a runner who can be trusted will bring peace.

¹⁸ If you refuse to learn from your mistakes, you will be poor, and no one will respect you. If you listen when you are criticized, you will be honored.

¹⁹ People are happy when they get what they want. But stupid people want nothing but evil, and they refuse to change.
