Proverbs 17:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ Money does not help a foolish person,
    because he does not want to become wise.
¹⁷ A friend will always show that he loves you.
    Relatives are there to help you when you are in trouble.
¹⁸ Only a stupid person promises to pay someone else's debts,
    even if he is a friend or a neighbour.
