Proverbs 13:13-15

American Standard Version

¹³ Whoso despiseth the word ^[a]bringeth destruction on himself;
But he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
¹⁴ The ^[b]law of the wise is a fountain of life,
That one may depart from the snares of death.
¹⁵ Good understanding ^[c]giveth favor;
But the way of the transgressor is hard.
