Proverbs 13:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² When you do not receive the things that you hope for, it makes you sad.
    But when you receive what you have always wanted, you are very happy.
¹³ If you do not accept good teaching, you will destroy yourself.
    If you accept good advice, it will help you to do well.
¹⁴ The teaching of wise people is like a spring of water that gives life.
    It will keep you away from death's dangerous traps.
