Proverbs 17:13-23

13 Whoso returneth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14 The beginning of strife is like the letting out of water: therefore break off contention before it is meddled with.
15 He that justifieth the wicked and he that condemneth the just, both alike are an abomination to the LORD.
16 Why should there be in the hands of a fool the price to purchase wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to acquire it?
17 A friend is loving at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18 A man void of understanding shaketh hands in pledge, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife, and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good, and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into iniquity.
21 He that begetteth a fool doeth so to his sorrow, and the father of a fool hath no joy.
22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine, but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
23 A wicked man taketh a bribe out of the bosom to pervert the ways of judgment.
