13 If you reject God's teaching,you will pay the price;if you obey his commands,you will be rewarded.
14 Sensible instructionis a life-giving fountainthat helps you escapeall deadly traps.
15 Sound judgment is praised,but people without good senseare on the way to disaster.
16 If you have good sense,you will act sensibly,but fools act like fools.
17 Whoever delivers your messagecan make things betteror worse for you.
18 All who refuse correctionwill be poor and disgraced;all who accept correctionwill be praised.
19 It's a good feelingto get what you want,but only a stupid foolhates to turn from evil.
