17A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: 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 fools to depart from evil.
20He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: But a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
21Evil pursueth sinners: But to the righteous good shall be repayed.
