Verse 23 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.
