Proverbs 13:14-16

Revised Standard Version

¹⁴ The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,
    that one may avoid the snares of death.
¹⁵ Good sense wins favor,
    but the way of the faithless is their ruin.^[a]
16 In everything a prudent man acts with knowledge,
    but a fool flaunts his folly.
