ASV(i)
15 Good understanding giveth favor;
But the way of the transgressor is hard. 16 Every prudent man worketh with knowledge;
But a fool flaunteth [his] 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 honored. 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. 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. 25 The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul;
But the belly of the wicked shall want.
