Proverbs 13:18-20

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁸ If you refuse to learn from your mistakes, you will be poor, and no one will respect you. If you listen when you are criticized, you will be honored.

¹⁹ People are happy when they get what they want. But stupid people want nothing but evil, and they refuse to change.

²⁰ Be friends with those who are wise, and you will become wise. Choose fools to be your friends, and you will have trouble.
