13Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
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 upright, both of them alike are an abomination to Adonai .
16Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?
17A friend 'ahav ·affectionately loves· at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.
18A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.
19He who 'ahav ·affectionately loves· disobedience 'ahav ·affectionately loves· strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
