Proverbs 13:16 Context
14The lawe of the wise is a fountaine of life, to depart from the snares of death. 15Good vnderstanding giueth fauour: but the way of transgressours is hard. 16Euery prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a foole layeth open his folly. 17A wicked messenger falleth into mischiefe: but a faithfull ambassadour is health. 18Pouerty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproofe, shall be honoured.
