Proverbs 17:16

¹⁴  The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

¹⁵  He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

¹⁶  Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?

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

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