Proverbs 17:16-21
16Wherefore is there a priceH4242 in the handH3027 of a foolH3684 to buyH7069 wisdomH2451, seeing he hath noH369 understandingH3820?
17A friendH7453 loveth at allH3605 timesH6256, and a brotherH251 is bornH3205 for adversityH6869.
18A manH120 void of understandingH3820 striketh handsH3709, and becometh suretyH6148 in the presenceH6440 of his neighbour.
19He loveth transgressionH6588 that loveth strifeH4683: he that raiseth highH1361 his gateH6607 seeketh destructionH7667.
20He that hath a froward heartH3820 findeth noH3808 goodH2896: and he that hath a perverseH6141 tongueH3956 falleth intoH2015 mischief.
21He that begetteth a foolH3684 doeth it to his sorrowH8424: and the fatherH1 of a foolH3684 hath noH3808 joyH8055.
