Proverbs 13:14-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴ Sensible instruction
    is a life-giving fountain
that helps you escape
    all deadly traps.
¹⁵ Sound judgment is praised,
but people without good sense
    are on the way to disaster.^[a]
16 If you have good sense,
you will act sensibly,
    but fools act like fools.
