Proverbs 17:16-21

16Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdom when he doesn’t have a mind to grasp anything?

17A friend always loves, and a brother is born to share trouble.

18A person without good sense closes a deal with a handshake. He guarantees a loan in the presence of his friend.

19Whoever loves sin loves a quarrel. Whoever builds his city gate high invites destruction.

20A twisted mind never finds happiness, and one with a devious tongue ⌞repeatedly⌟ gets into trouble.

21The parent of a fool has grief, and the father of a godless fool has no joy.
