20 Whoso is walking with wise men is wise, And a companion of fools suffereth evil.

21 Evil pursueth sinners, And good recompenseth the righteous.

22 A good man causeth sons' sons to inherit, And laid up for the righteous [is] the sinner's wealth.

23 Abundance of food -- the tillage of the poor, And substance is consumed without judgment.

24 Whoso is sparing his rod is hating his son, And whoso is loving him hath hastened him chastisement.

25 The righteous is eating to the satiety of his soul, And the belly of the wicked lacketh!

20 (A)One who walks with wise people will be wise,
But a companion of fools will suffer harm.
21 (B)Adversity pursues sinners,
But the (C)righteous will be rewarded with prosperity.
22 A good person (D)leaves an inheritance to his [a]grandchildren,
And the (E)wealth of a sinner is stored up for the righteous.
23 (F)Abundant food is in the uncultivated ground of the poor,
But [b]it is swept away by injustice.
24 He who (G)withholds his [c]rod hates his son,
But he who loves him [d](H)disciplines him diligently.
25 The (I)righteous [e]has enough to satisfy his appetite,
But the stomach of the (J)wicked is in need.
