19Those who like to sin also like to cause strife/trouble; and those who build fancy doors in their houses to show that they are very wealthy (OR, speak proudly) are inviting disaster.
20Those who ◄have perverse minds/are always thinking about doing evil things► will not prosper, and disasters will happen to those who always tell lies.
21Children who are foolish soon cause their parents to be very sad; their parents will not be joyful at all.
22Being cheerful is like swallowing good medicine; being discouraged/gloomy all the time will ◄drain away your energy/cause you to become weak► MTY.
23Wicked people/judges accept bribes that are given to them secretly, and as a result they do not decide matters justly/fairly.
