Proverbs 13:14-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
14
The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
To turn aside from the snares of death.
15
Good understanding produces favor,
But the way of the treacherous is their own disaster.
16
Every prudent person acts with knowledge,
But a fool displays foolishness.
17
A wicked messenger falls into adversity,
But a faithful messenger
brings
healing.
18
Poverty and shame
will come
to one who neglects discipline,
But one who complies with rebuke will be honored.
19
Desire realized is sweet to the soul,
But it is an abomination to fools to turn away from evil.
20
One who walks with wise people will be wise,
But a companion of fools will suffer harm.
21
Adversity pursues sinners,
But the righteous will be rewarded with prosperity.
King James Version
Chapter 13
14
The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15
Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
16
Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.
17
A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.
18
Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
19
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
21
Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.

but a fool displays his stupidity.

New Living Translation
Chapter 13
14
The instruction of the wise is like a life-giving fountain;
those who accept it avoid the snares of death.
15
A person with good sense is respected;
a treacherous person is headed for destruction.
16
Wise people think before they act;
fools don’t — and even brag about their foolishness.
17
An unreliable messenger stumbles into trouble,
but a reliable messenger brings healing.
18
If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace;
if you accept correction, you will be honored.
19
It is pleasant to see dreams come true,
but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them.
20
Walk with the wise and become wise;
associate with fools and get in trouble.
21
Trouble chases sinners,
while blessings reward the righteous.
