13 He who despises the word will be destroyed,But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.
14 The law of the wise is a fountain of life,To turn one away from the snares of death.
15 Good understanding gains favor,But the way of the unfaithful is hard.
16 Every prudent man acts with knowledge,But a fool lays open his folly.
17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,But a faithful ambassador brings health.
18 Poverty and shame will come to him who disdains correction,But he who regards a rebuke will be honored.
19 A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul,But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.
