15. Good understanding brings forth grace: but the way of transgressors is hard.
16. Every sane man works according to wisdom: but the fool shall manifest his folly.
17. A bad messenger shall fall into evil: but a faithful ambassador is medicine.
18. Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses chastening: but he that regards reproof shall be honoured.
19. The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.
