Proverbs 17:16-21
16Wherefore is there a priceH4242 in the handH3027 of a foolH3684 to buyH7069 wisdomH2451,Seeing he hath no understanding?17A friendH7453 loveth at all timesH6256;And a brotherH251 is bornH3205 for adversity.18A manH120 void of understanding striketh handsH3709,And becometh suretyH6148 in the presenceH6440 of his neighborH7453.19He loveth transgressionH6588 that loveth strife:He that raiseth highH1361 his gate seeketh destructionH7667.20He that hath a wayward heartH3820 findeth no goodH2896;And he that hath a perverseH6141 tongueH3956 falleth into mischief.21He that begetteth a foolH3684 doeth it to his sorrow;And the fatherH1 of a foolH3684 hath no joy.
