Proverbs 17:15-22

Justice, Friendship, and Folly

Proverbs 17:15-22
15
Acquitting the guilty and condemning the righteous— both are detestable to the LORD.
16
Why should the fool have money in his hand with no intention of buying wisdom?
17
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18
A man lacking judgment strikes hands in pledge and puts up security for his neighbor.
19
He who loves transgression loves strife; he who builds his gate high invites destruction.
20
The one with a perverse heart finds no good, and he whose tongue is deceitful falls into trouble.
21
A man fathers a fool to his own grief; the father of a fool has no joy.
22
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
