Proverbs 17:15-19

Tree of Life Version

¹⁵ Acquitting the wicked and condemning the righteous:
both are an abomination to Adonai.

¹⁶ Of what use is money in the hand of a fool
since he has no intention of acquiring wisdom?

¹⁷ A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity.

¹⁸ A man lacking judgment shakes hands on a deal
and puts up financial security for his neighbor.

¹⁹ He who loves sin loves strife.
One who builds a high gate invites destruction.
