Proverbs 13:19-21

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁹ Satisfied desire is sweet to a person; therefore it is hateful and exceedingly offensive to [self-confident] fools to give up evil [upon which they have set their hearts].

²⁰ He who walks [as a companion] with wise men is wise, but he who associates with [self-confident] fools is [a fool himself and] shall smart for it.^(A)

²¹ Evil pursues sinners, but the consistently upright and in right standing with God is recompensed with good.
