Context of Proverbs 13:18
16Careful people need to understand what they are doing. But a fool quickly shows how foolish he is. 17If you send a message with a wicked person, he will cause trouble. But if you send someone that you can trust, he will bring peace. Anyone who turns away from good teaching will become poor and ashamed. But if you accept advice when you do something wrong, people will respect you. 19It is very nice to receive the things that you want. But foolish people refuse to stop doing evil things. 20If you have wise people as your friends, you will become wise yourself. But if you have foolish friends, you will hurt yourself.
