Proverbs 13:17

New International Version

¹⁷A wicked messenger falls into trouble,^(A)
but a trustworthy envoy brings healing.^(B)

Proverbs 13:17

King James Version

¹⁷A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.

¹³Like a snow-cooled drink at harvest time
is a trustworthy messenger to the one who sends him;
he refreshes the spirit of his master.^(A)

¹³As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.

⁶Sending a message by the hands of a fool^(A)
is like cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison.

⁶He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.

New International Version (NIV)
