New Testament

Proverbs 13:15-22 American Standard Version (ASV)

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.
