Proverbs 13:15-25

15 Good understanding giveth favor; But the way of the transgressor is hard.

16 Every prudent man worketh with knowledge; But a fool flaunteth [his] folly.

17 A wicked messenger falleth into evil; But a faithful ambassador is health.

18 Poverty and shame [shall be to] him that refuseth correction; But he that regardeth reproof shall be honored.

19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.

20 Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise; But the companion of fools shall smart for it.

21 Evil pursueth sinners; But the righteous shall be recompensed with good.

22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.

23 Much food [is in] the tillage of the poor; But there is that is destroyed by reason of injustice.

24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son; But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul; But the belly of the wicked shall want.
