Context of Proverbs 13:18

16Every prudent man worketh with knowledge: but a fool spreadeth out folly. 17A wicked messenger falleth into evil: but a faithful ambassador is health. Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth correction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. 19The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil. 20Walk with wise men, and thou shalt be wise: but the companion of fools shall smart for it.
