16Every prudent man acts with knowledge: but the fool displays his own mischief.
17A rash king shall fall into mischief: but a wise messenger shall deliver him.
18Instruction removes poverty and disgrace: but he that attends to reproofs shall be honoured.
19The desires of the godly gladden the soul, but the works of the ungodly are far from knowledge.
20If thou walkest with wise men thou shalt be wise: but he that walks with fools shall be known.
21Evil shall pursue sinners; but good shall overtake the righteous.
22A good man shall inherit children's children; and the wealth of ungodly men is laid up for the just.
23The righteous shall spend many years in wealth: but the unrighteous shall perish suddenly.
24He that spares the rod hates his son: but he that loves, carefully chastens him.
25A just man eats and satisfies his soul: but the souls of the ungodly are in want.
