Proverbs 17:13-17

¹³Whoso rewards evil for good, evil shall not be removed from his house.

¹⁴Rightful rule gives power to words; but sedition and strife precede poverty.

¹⁵He that pronounces the unjust just, and the just unjust, is unclean and abominable with God.

¹⁶Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom.

^16aHe that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischiefs.

¹⁷Have thou a friend for every time, and let brethren be useful in distress; for on this account are they born.
