20 He that walketh with wise [men] becometh wise; but a companion of the foolish will be depraved.

21 Evil pursueth sinners; but to the righteous good shall be repaid.

22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; but the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous [man].
