Proverbs 13:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ It's a good feeling
    to get what you want,
but only a stupid fool
    hates to turn from evil.
^20 (A) Wise friends make you wise,
but you hurt yourself
    by going around with fools.
²¹ You are in for trouble
    if you sin,
but you will be rewarded
    if you live right.
