Proverbs 13:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ A desire that is met is like something that tastes sweet.
    But foolish people hate to turn away from evil.

²⁰ Walk with wise people and become wise.
    A companion of foolish people suffers harm.

²¹ Hard times chase those who are sinful.
    But those who do right are rewarded with good things.
