Proverbs 17:16-21
16Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to 1buy wisdom, When 2he has no sense?17A 3friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.18A man lacking in 4sense 56pledges And becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbor.19He who 7loves transgression loves strife; He who 8raises his door seeks destruction.20He who has a crooked 9mind 10finds no good, And he who is 11perverted in his language falls into evil.21He who 12sires a fool does so to his sorrow, And the father of a fool has no joy.
