14 you may be sure that wisdom is good for the soul. Get wisdom and you have a bright future.
15 Don't be like the wicked who scheme to rob honest people or to take away their homes.
16 No matter how often honest people fall, they always get up again; but disaster destroys the wicked.
17 Don't be glad when your enemies meet disaster, and don't rejoice when they stumble.
18 The Lord will know if you are gloating, and he will not like it; and then he might not punish them.
19 Don't let evil people worry you; don't be envious of them.
20 A wicked person has no future — nothing to look forward to.
