Proverbs 17:16-21

16To what purpose is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing [he] hath no sense?

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

18A senseless man striketh hands, becoming surety for his neighbour.

19He loveth transgression that loveth a quarrel; he that maketh high his gate seeketh destruction.

20He that hath a perverse heart findeth no good; and he that shifteth about with his tongue falleth into evil.

21He that begetteth a fool [doeth it] to his sorrow, and the father of a vile [man] hath no joy.
