Proverbs 17:13-18

¹³Evil shall not go away from the house of him, that yieldeth evils for goods (or who giveth evil for good).

¹⁴He that letteth (out) water, is the head of strives, (or of arguments); and before that he suffereth wrong, he forsaketh doom (or he deserteth judgement).

¹⁵Both he that justifieth a wicked man, and he that condemneth a just man, ever either is abominable to God. (Both he who justifieth a wicked person, and he who condemneth a righteous person, be abominable to God.)

¹⁶What profiteth it to a fool to have riches, since he may not buy wisdom? (or since he cannot buy wisdom?) He that maketh his house high, seeketh falling; and he that escheweth to learn, shall fall into evils.

¹⁷He that is a friend, loveth in all time; and a brother is proved in anguishes.

¹⁸A fond man shall make joy with hands (or A foolish person shall clap his hands, or shall rejoice), when he hath promised for his friend.
