    if you accept correction, you will be honored.

¹⁹ It is pleasant to see dreams come true,
    but fools refuse to turn from evil to attain them.

²⁰ Walk with the wise and become wise;
    associate with fools and get in trouble.

²¹ Trouble chases sinners,
    while blessings reward the righteous.

²² Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren,
    but the sinner’s wealth passes to the godly.

²³ A poor person’s farm may produce much food,
    but injustice sweeps it all away.
