New King James Version

Proverbs 13:14-17 New King James Version (NKJV)

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.
