Proverbs 17:14-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water,
so stop before the quarrel breaks out.(A)
15 One who justifies the wicked and one who condemns the righteous
are both alike an abomination to the Lord.(B)
16 Why should fools have a price in hand
to buy wisdom when they have no mind to learn?
