17A wicked messenger falleth into evil; but a faithful ambassador is health.
18Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction; but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
19The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; but it is abomination to the foolish to depart from evil.
20He that walketh with wise men becometh wise; but a companion of the foolish will be depraved.
21Evil pursueth sinners; but to the righteous good shall be repaid.
