Proverbs 17:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Absolving the wicked and condemning the innocent
    are both equally abominable to the Lord.
¹⁶ Of what advantage is money in the hands of a fool?
    Can he purchase wisdom if he has no desire to learn?
¹⁷ A true friend is one at all times,
    and a brother is born to render help in time of need.
