Proverbs 17:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

16 Why should fools have a price in hand
    to buy wisdom when they have no mind to learn?
17 A friend loves at all times,
    and kinsfolk are born to share adversity.(A)
18 It is senseless to give a pledge,
    to become surety for a neighbor.(B)
