Proverbs 17:15-22

Justice, Friendship, and Folly

Proverbs 17:15-22
15
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
16
Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?
17
A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.
18
A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.
19
He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
20
One who has a perverse heart doesn’t find prosperity, and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.
21
He who becomes the father of a fool grieves. The father of a fool has no joy.
22
A cheerful heart makes good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
