18 Poverty and shame will come to him who¹ disdains correction,
But ^ahe who regards a rebuke will be honored. ‡

19 A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul,
But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.

21 ^aEvil pursues sinners,
But to the righteous, good shall be repaid. ‡

22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
But ^athe wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous. ‡
