16Is there any point in stupid people trying to buy wisdom when they don't want to learn?
17A true friend is always there to love you, and family provides help when troubles come.
18It's not a wise idea to make a pledge and guarantee a neighbor's debt.
19People who love sin like to argue; those who build high gates invite destruction.
20People with warped minds don't succeed; those who tell lies get into trouble.
21A stupid son brings grief to his father; the father of a child who does stupid things has no joy.
22A cheerful attitude is like good medicine, but discouragement makes you sick.
23The wicked take hidden bribes to pervert the course of justice.
24Sensible people focus on wisdom, but the eyes of stupid people are always wandering.
25A stupid son brings grief to his father and sadness to his mother who gave birth to him.
26It's not right to impose a fine on someone who's innocent or to flog good leaders for their honesty.
27If you're wise, you'll be careful what you say; and if you're sensible, you'll keep your temper.
