Proverbs 17:14-16

¹⁴The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam, therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out.

¹⁵He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.

¹⁶Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?
