PROVERBS 17:14-17

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

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

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.
