Proverbs 13:17-22

¹⁷The messenger of a wicked man shall fall into evil; a faithful messenger is health. (A wicked messenger shall fall into evil; but a faithful messenger bringeth health, or victory, or salvation, or deliverance.)

¹⁸Neediness and shame is to him that forsaketh teaching; but he that assenteth to a blamer, shall be glorified. (Neediness and shame shall be for him who abandoneth his teaching, or his instruction; but he who assenteth to a rebuker, shall be honoured.)

¹⁹Desire, if it is ful filled, delighteth the soul; fools loathe them that flee evils.

²⁰He that goeth with wise men, shall be wise, (or He who goeth with the wise, shall be wise); the friend of fools shall be made like them.

²¹Evil pursueth sinners; and goods shall be given to just men (or but good things shall be given to the righteous).

²²A good man shall leave after him heirs, sons, and the sons of sons; and the chattel of a sinner is kept to a just man. (A good person shall leave heirsafter him, yea, sons and daughters, and their sons and daughters; but a sinner’s possessions shall be given to the righteous.)
