16 Every prudent man acts from knowledge, But a fool exposes folly.
17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, But a trustworthy envoy gains healing.
18 Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, But he who heeds correction shall be honored.
19 Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, But fools detest turning from evil.
20 One who walks with wise men grows wise, But a companion of fools suffers harm.
21 Misfortune pursues sinners, But prosperity rewards the righteous.
22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children`s children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.
