Proverbs 13:20

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

¹⁹ The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; but it is abomination to the foolish to depart from evil. 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.
