15 Good judgment wins favour,but the way of the unfaithful leads to their destruction.
16 All who are prudent act with knowledge,but fools expose their folly.
17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,but a trustworthy envoy brings healing.
18 Whoever disregards discipline comes to poverty and shame,but whoever heeds correction is honoured.
19 A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul,but fools detest turning from evil.
20 Walk with the wise and become wise,for a companion of fools suffers harm.
21 Trouble pursues the sinner,but the righteous are rewarded with good things.
