Proverbs 13:16KJV

14The law of the wise a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

15Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors hard.

16Every prudent dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open folly.

17A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador health.

18Poverty and shame him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
