14 The law of the wise 'is' a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.
15 Good understanding giveth grace, And the way of the treacherous 'is' hard.
16 Every prudent one dealeth with knowledge, And a fool spreadeth out folly.
17 A wicked messenger falleth into evil, And a faithful ambassador is healing.
18 Whoso is refusing instruction -- poverty and shame, And whoso is observing reproof is honoured.
