Proverbs 17:13-18

¹³Whoso rewardeth evil for good, Evil shall not depart from his house.

¹⁴The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: Therefore leave off contention, before there is quarrelling.

¹⁵He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to Jehovah.

¹⁶Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, Seeing he hath no understanding?

¹⁷A friend loveth at all times; And a brother is born for adversity.

¹⁸A man void of understanding striketh hands, And becometh surety in the presence of his neighbor.
