Proverbs 17:15-22

Justice, Friendship, and Folly

Proverbs 17:15-22
15
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to Jehovah.
16
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, Seeing he hath no understanding?
17
A friend loveth at all times; And a brother is born for adversity.
18
A man void of understanding striketh hands, And becometh surety in the presence of his neighbor.
19
He loveth transgression that loveth strife: He that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.
20
He that hath a wayward heart findeth no good; And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
21
He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow; And the father of a fool hath no joy.
22
A cheerful heart is a good medicine; But a broken spirit drieth up the bones.
