19 El deseo cumplido deleita el alma: pero apartarse del mal es abominación á los necios.

20 El que anda con los sabios, sabio será; mas el que se allega á los necios, será quebrantado.

21 Mal perseguirá á los pecadores: mas á los justos les será bien retribuído.

22 El bueno dejará herederos á los hijos de los hijos; y el haber del pecador, para el justo está guardado.

23 En el barbecho de los pobres [hay] mucho pan: mas piérdese por falta de juicio.
