18 Poverty and disgrace come to him who (A)ignores instruction,
    (B)but whoever (C)heeds reproof is honored.
19 (D)A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul,
    but to turn away from evil is an abomination to fools.
20 Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,
    but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
21 (E)Disaster[a] pursues sinners,
    (F)but the righteous are rewarded with good.
22 (G)A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children,
    but (H)the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.
