18 Poverty and shame will come to him who neglects discipline , But he who regards reproof will be honored .
19 Desire realized is sweet to the soul , But it is an abomination to fools to turn away from evil .
20 He who walks with wise men will be wise , But the companion of fools will suffer harm .
