Proverbs 17:17 BBE

¹⁵  He who gives a decision for the evil-doer and he who gives a decision against the upright, are equally disgusting to the Lord.

¹⁶  How will money in the hand of the foolish get him wisdom, seeing that he has no sense?

¹⁷  A friend is loving at all times, and becomes a brother in times of trouble.

¹⁸  A man without sense gives his hand in an agreement, and makes himself responsible before his neighbour.

¹⁹  The lover of fighting is a lover of sin: he who makes high his doorway is looking for destruction.
