Proverbs 13:15-25 A good understanding giveth favour: and to know the law is a proof of good understanding; but the ways of impostors end in destruction.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ A good understanding giveth favour: and to know the law is a proof of good understanding; but the ways of impostors end in destruction. ¹⁶ Every prudent man acteth with knowledge; but the fool hath laid open his wickedness. ¹⁷ A daring king will involve himself in evils; but a wise ambassador will deliver him. ¹⁸ Instruction removeth poverty and disgrace; and he who regardeth reproofs shall be honoured. ¹⁹ The desires of the pious sweeten life: but the works of the wicked are far from knowledge. ²⁰ By walking with the wise thou wilt be wise; but he who walketh with fools will be known. ²¹ Evils shall pursue sinners, but good will overtake the righteous. ²² A good man shall leave an inheritance to his children; but the wealth of the wicked is treasured up for the righteous. ²³ The righteous shall spend many years in wealth; but the unrighteous shall perish in a short time. ²⁴ He who spareth the rod hateth his son; but he who loveth him correcteth diligently. ²⁵ A righteous man eateth and satisfieth his soul; but the souls of the wicked are insatiate.
