but reliable messengers help people heal.
18 People who do not let other people correct them will be poor and ashamed,
but people will respect those people who let other people rebuke them.
19 People feel pleasant when they get what they want,
but stupid people detest refusing to do what is evil.
20 People who associate with wise people will become wise themselves,
but people who are companions of stupid people will agonize.
21 Bad things happen to sinful people,
but good things happen to righteous people.
