Proverbs 13:13-15

New Century Version

¹³ Those who reject what they are taught will pay for it,
    but those who obey what they are told will be rewarded.

¹⁴ The teaching of a wise person gives life.
    It is like a fountain that can save people from death.

¹⁵ People with good understanding will be well liked,
    but the lives of those who are not trustworthy are hard.
