15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of the treacherous is rugged.
16 Every prudent man worketh with knowledge: but a fool spreadeth out 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 honoured.
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.
