Proverbs 13:16-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 Every sensible person acts knowledgeably,
but a fool displays his stupidity.(A)
17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
but a trustworthy courier brings healing.(B)
18 Poverty and disgrace come to those
who ignore discipline,
but the one who accepts correction will be honored.(C)
