ESVEnglish Standard Version
Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,
but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
Disaster pursues sinners,
but the righteous are rewarded with good.
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
but the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous.
The fallow ground of the poor would yield much food,
but it is swept away through injustice.

but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.
An unplowed field produces food for the poor,
but injustice sweeps it away.

Walk with the wise and become wise;
associate with fools and get in trouble.

Walk with the wise and be wise,
but as for the companion of fools, he will suffer harm.
Misfortune will pursue sinners,
but the righteous will be rewarded with prosperity.
He who is good will leave an inheritance to his grandchildren,
and stored up for the righteous is the wealth of a sinner.
There is much food in the field of the poor,
but it is swept away by injustice.
