Proverbs 13:19

Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil." — Proverbs 13:19 (ASV)

The connection is somewhat obscure. Either, “Satisfied desire is pleasant, therefore it is an abomination to fools to depart from the evil on which their minds are set;” or, “Sweet is the satisfaction of desire, yet the wicked will not depart from the evil which makes that satisfaction impossible.”
