Justice, Friendship, and Folly

Proverbs 17:15-22
15
He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous -both alike are an abomination to ADONAI.
16
Why would a fool wish to pay for wisdom when he has no desire to learn?
17
A friend shows his friendship at all times -it is for adversity that [such] a brother is born.
18
He who gives his hand to guarantee a loan for his neighbor lacks good sense.
19
Those who love quarreling love giving offense; those who make their gates tall are courting disaster.
20
A crooked-hearted person will find nothing good, and the perverse of speech will end in calamity.
21
He who fathers a fool does so to his sorrow, and the father of a boor has no joy.
22
A happy heart is good medicine, but low spirits sap one's strength.
