Every prudent [man] dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open [his] folly (13:16) A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador [is] health (13:17) Poverty and shame [shall be to] him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured (13:18) The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but [it is] abomination to fools to depart from evil (13:19) He that walketh with wise [men] shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed (13:20) Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed (13:21) A good [man] leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner [is] laid up for the just (13:22) Much food [is in] the tillage of the poor: but there is [that is] destroyed for want of judgment (13:23) He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes (13:24) The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want
(13:25)
