¹⁵One who justifies the wicked and one who condemns the righteous
are both alike an abomination to the Lord.
¹⁶Why should fools have a price in hand
to buy wisdom, when they have no mind to learn?
¹⁷A friend loves at all times,
and kinsfolk are born to share adversity.
¹⁸It is senseless to give a pledge,
to become surety for a neighbor.
¹⁹One who loves transgression loves strife;
one who builds a high threshold invites broken bones.
²⁰The crooked of mind do not prosper,
and the perverse of tongue fall into calamity.
²¹The one who begets a fool gets trouble;
the parent of a fool has no joy.
