19. The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul,but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

20. He who walks with wise men will be wise,but a companion of fools will be destroyed.

21. Evil pursues sinners,but to the righteous good will be repaid.

22. A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

23. Much food is in the tillage of the poor,but for lack of justice it is destroyed.
