14 The law of the wise [is] a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
15 Good understanding giveth favor: 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 embassador [is] health.
18 Poverty and shame [shall be to] him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.
