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.
Proverbs 17:16-18
New International Version

and a brother is born for a time of adversity.(B)

and puts up security for a neighbor.(C)
