Verse 19 is found in chapter 13 of Proverbs. The final section connects companionship, discipline, family justice, and satisfaction of needs. Walking with the wise transforms a companion, while associating with fools leads to harm. The correction of children appears within the logic of formation rather than arbitrary violence. The chapter ends by contrasting the provision of the righteous with the scarcity associated with a lack of diligence and discipline.

Wenn's kommt, was man begehrt, das tut dem Herzen wohl; aber das Böse meiden ist den Toren ein Greuel.
El deseo cumplido deleita el alma: Pero apartarse del mal es abominación a los necios.
Un désir accompli est doux à l'âme, Mais s'éloigner du mal fait horreur aux insensés.
Il desiderio adempiuto è cosa soave all’anima; Ed agli stolti è cosa abbominevole lo stornarsi dal male
O desejo que se alcança deleita a alma, mas apartar-se do mal é abominável para os insensatos.
願望實現,心覺甘甜; 遠離惡事,為愚昧人所憎惡。
