WisdomShameHumilityPoverty and the vulnerable

16 Every prudent man acts with knowledge, but a fool displays his folly.

17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a faithful envoy brings healing.

Poverty and shame come to him who ignores discipline, but whoever heeds correction is honored.

19 Desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but turning from evil is detestable to fools.

20 He who walks with the wise will become wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.
