Proverbs 17:16-18

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁶ Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom,
    seeing he hath no heart to it?

¹⁷ A friend loveth at all times,
    and a brother is born for adversity.

¹⁸ A man void of understanding striketh hands,
    and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
