Proverbs 13:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ The teaching of a wise person gives life.
    It is like a fountain that can save people from death.

¹⁵ People with good understanding will be well liked,
    but the lives of those who are not trustworthy are hard.

¹⁶ Every wise person acts with good sense,
    but fools show how foolish they are.
