Proverbs 17:16-20

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.

¹⁹He that bethinketh discords, loveth chidings; and he that enhanceth his mouth, seeketh falling. (He who thinketh up discord, loveth arguments; and he who exalteth his own mouth, seeketh his own downfall.)

²⁰He that is of wayward heart, shall not find good; and he that (mis-)turneth the tongue, shall fall into evil.
