Proverbs 17:11-18

¹¹A sedicious person seeketh onely euill, and a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

¹²It is better for a man to meete a beare robbed of her whelpes, then a foole in his follie.

¹³He that rewardeth euil for good, euil shall not depart from his house.

¹⁴The beginning of strife is as one that openeth the waters: therefore or the contention be medled with, leaue off.

¹⁵He that iustifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the iust, euen they both are abomination to the Lord.

¹⁶Wherefore is there a price in the hand of the foole to get wisdome, and he hath none heart?

¹⁷A friende loueth at all times: and a brother is borne for aduersitie.

¹⁸A man destitute of vnderstanding, toucheth the hande, and becommeth suretie for his neighbour.
