20 Go with wise men and be wise: but he who keeps company with the foolish will be broken.

21 Evil will overtake sinners, but the upright will be rewarded with good.

22 The heritage of the good man is handed down to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the upright man.
