Proverbs 17:17

¹⁵He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.

¹⁶Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?

¹⁷A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.

¹⁸A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.

¹⁹He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
