19 A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but to turn away from evil is an abomination to fools.
These two ideas, the sweetness of a desire fulfilled and how the wicked hate to change, have both been mentioned before. But when put together, they tell a different kind of story. When the desire to do good, it is satisfying. However, the addictive nature of sin makes it difficult to meet these goals. Often we act like fools holding on to trash when treasure awaits us on the other side of change.
