Proverbs 17:15-17

21st Century King James Version

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.
