Proverbs 17:15-17

American Standard Version

¹⁵ He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous,
Both of them alike are an abomination to Jehovah.
¹⁶ Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,
Seeing he hath no ^[a]understanding?
¹⁷ A friend loveth at all times;
And ^[b]a brother is born for adversity.
