Proverbs 17:15-22

Justice, Friendship, and Folly

Proverbs 17:15-22
15
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
16
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
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 friend.
19
He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
20
He that hath a froward 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 merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
