14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, To turn aside from the snares of death.

15 Good understanding produces favor, But the way of the treacherous is hard.

16 Every prudent man acts with knowledge, But a fool displays folly.

17 A wicked messenger falls into adversity, But a faithful envoy brings healing.

18 Poverty and shame will come to him who neglects discipline, But he who regards reproof will be honored.

19 Desire realized is sweet to the soul, But it is an abomination to fools to turn away from evil.

20 He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will suffer harm.

21 Adversity pursues sinners, But the righteous will be rewarded with prosperity.

22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, And the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.

23 Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor, But it is swept away by injustice .

25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of the wicked is in need.
