Proverbs 13:11-18 New Living Translation (NLT)

11. Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears;wealth from hard work grows over time.

12. Hope deferred makes the heart sick,but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.

13. People who despise advice are asking for trouble;those who respect a command will succeed.

14. The instruction of the wise is like a life-giving fountain;those who accept it avoid the snares of death.

15. A person with good sense is respected;a treacherous person is headed for destruction.

16. Wise people think before they act;fools don’t—and even brag about their foolishness.

17. An unreliable messenger stumbles into trouble,but a reliable messenger brings healing.

18. If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace;if you accept correction, you will be honored.
