Proverbs 17:18 In-Context

16 It won't do a fool any good to try to buy wisdom, because he doesn't have the ability to be wise.
17 A friend loves you all the time, and a brother helps in time of trouble.
18 It is not wise to promise to pay what your neighbor owes.
19 Whoever loves to argue loves to sin. Whoever brags a lot is asking for trouble.
20 A person with an evil heart will find no success, and the person whose words are evil will get into trouble.
