Proverbs 17:16-21

16Why does a fool have money in his hand with no intention of buying wisdom?

17A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a difficult time.

18One without sense enters an agreement and puts up security for his friend.

19One who loves to offend loves strife; one who builds a high threshold invites injury.

20One with a twisted mind will not succeed, and one with deceitful speech will fall into ruin.

21A man fathers a fool to his own sorrow; the father of a fool has no joy.
