PROVERBS 13:19-24

¹⁹The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.

²⁰Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise: but the companion of fools shall smart for it.

²¹Evil pursueth sinners: but the righteous shall be recompensed with good.

²²A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children; and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.

²³Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed by reason of injustice.

²⁴He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
