Proverbs 17:16-18
New Catholic Bible

16 Of what advantage is money in the hands of a fool?
    Can he purchase wisdom if he has no desire to learn?
17 A true friend is one at all times,
    and a brother is born to render help in time of need.
18 A man without sense gives a pledge
    to become surety for a neighbor.[a]
