17Have thou a friend for every time, and let brethren be useful in distress; for on this account are they born.
18A foolish man applauds and rejoices over himself, as he also that becomes surety would make himself responsible for his own friends.
19A lover of sin rejoices in strifes;
20and the hard-hearted man comes not in for good. A man of a changeful tongue will fall into mischiefs;
21and the heart of a fool is grief to its possessor. A father rejoices not over an uninstructed son; but a wise son gladdens his mother.
22A glad heart promotes health; but the bones of a sorrowful man dry up.
23The ways of a man who unjustly receives gifts in his bosom do not prosper; and an ungodly man perverts the ways of righteousness.
24The countenance of a wise man is sensible; but the eyes of a fool go to the ends of the earth.
25A foolish son is a cause of anger to his father, and grief to her that bore him.
