Proverbs 17:18-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 It is senseless to give a pledge,
to become surety for a neighbor.(A)
19 One who loves transgression loves strife;
one who builds a high threshold invites broken bones.(B)
20 The crooked of mind do not prosper,
and the perverse of tongue fall into calamity.(C)
