Proverbs 13:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ The teaching of wise people is like a fountain that gives life.
    It turns those who listen to it away from the jaws of death.

¹⁵ Good judgment wins favor.
    But the way of liars leads to their ruin.

¹⁶ Wise people act with knowledge.
    But foolish people show how foolish they are.
