Proverbs 13:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ A wicked messenger brings nothing but trouble,
    but a trustworthy one makes everything right.

¹⁸ A person who refuses correction will end up poor and disgraced,
    but the one who accepts correction will be honored.

¹⁹ It is so good when wishes come true,
    but fools hate to stop doing evil.
