Proverbs 17:15-17
New American Standard Bible 1995
15 He who (A)justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous,
Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
16 Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to (B)buy wisdom,
When [a]he has no sense?
17 A (C)friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity.
