Proverbs 17:15-22

Justice, Friendship, and Folly

Proverbs 17:15-22
15
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, both are abominable before God.
16
What doth it avail a fool to have riches, seeing he cannot buy wisdom? He that maketh his house high, seeketh a downfall: and he that refuseth to learn, shall fall into evils.
17
He that is a friend loveth at all times: and a brother is proved in distress.
18
A foolish man will clap hands, when he is surety for his friend.
19
He that studieth discords, loveth quarrels: and he that exalteth his door, seeketh ruin.
20
He that is of a perverse heart, shall not find good: and he that perverteth his tongue, shall fall into evil.
21
A fool is born to his own disgrace: and even his father shall not rejoice in a fool.
22
A joyful mind maketh age flourishing: a sorrowful spirit drieth up the bones.
