20 Walk with the wise and be wise, but as for the companion of fools, he will suffer harm.
21 Misfortune will pursue sinners, but the righteous will be rewarded with prosperity.
22 He who is good will leave an inheritance to his grandchildren, and stored up for the righteous is the wealth of a sinner.
23 There is much food in the field of the poor, but it is swept away by injustice.
24 He who withholds his rod hates his child, but he who loves him gives him discipline.
25 The righteous eats to satisfy his life, but the belly of the wicked will lack.
