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.
