Proverbs 17:17-20 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

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

18. One without sense enters an agreement and puts up security for his friend.

19. One who loves to offend loves strife; one who builds a high threshold invites injury.

20. One with a twisted mind will not succeed,and one with deceitful speech will fall into ruin.
