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

20 He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will be destroyed.

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

23 ^aMuch food is in the¹ fallow ground of the poor,
And for lack of justice there is¹ waste. ‡
