Proverbs 17:16-21

16Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdom when he has no sense?

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

18One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

19Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who makes his door high seeks destruction.

20A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.

21He who sires a fool gets himself sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy.
