20:017:014 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

20:017:015 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

20:017:016 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?

20:017:017 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

20:017:018 A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

20:017:019 He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

20:017:020 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

20:017:021 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.

20:017:022 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

20:017:023 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
