Proverbs 13:17-19

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁷ ¶ A bad messenger shall fall into evil: but a faithful ambassador is medicine.

¹⁸ ¶ Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses chastening: but he that regards reproof shall be honoured.

¹⁹ ¶ The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
