Proverbs 17:15-17

Revised Standard Version

¹⁵ He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous
    are both alike an abomination to the Lord.
¹⁶ Why should a fool have a price in his hand to buy wisdom,
    when he has no mind?
¹⁷ A friend loves at all times,
    and a brother is born for adversity.
