19. A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul,But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20. He who walks with wise men will be wise,But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
21. Evil pursues sinners,But to the righteous, good shall be repaid.
22. A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.
23. Much food is in the fallow ground of the poor,And for lack of justice there is waste.
24. He who spares his rod hates his son,But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.
