Revised Version 1895
Proverbs 17:16-21
16Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, seeing he hath no understanding?
17A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his neighbour.
19He loveth transgression that loveth strife: he that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.
20He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
21He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
