Proverbs
Chapters 13:11-17
New International Version Anglicized
11Dishonest money dwindles away,but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.
12Hope deferred makes the heart sick,but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
13Whoever scorns instruction will pay for it,but whoever respects a command is rewarded.
14The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,turning a person from the snares of death.
15Good judgment wins favour,but the way of the unfaithful leads to their destruction.
16All who are prudent act with knowledge,but fools expose their folly.
17A wicked messenger falls into trouble,but a trustworthy envoy brings healing.
