“Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: But a fool layeth open his folly.
A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: But a faithful ambassador is health.
Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: But he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: But it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: But a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
Evil pursueth sinners: But to the righteous good shall be repaid.
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
Much food is in the tillage of the poor: But there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: But the belly of the wicked shall want.”
Proverbs 13:16-25 KJV
