Proverbs 17:16-21

16Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no intention of acquiring wisdom?

17A friend loves at all times, and a relative is born to help in adversity.

18The one who lacks wisdom strikes hands in pledge, and puts up financial security for his neighbor.

19The one who loves a quarrel loves transgression; whoever builds his gate high seeks destruction.

20The one who has a perverse heart does not find good, and the one who is deceitful in speech falls into trouble.

21Whoever brings a fool into the world does so to his grief, and the father of a fool has no joy.
