15. He that justifies the wicked, and he that condemns the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
16. Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he has no heart for it?
17. A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18. A man void of understanding gives pledge, and becomes surety in the presence of his neighbor.
19. He who loves transgression loves strife: and he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.
20. He that has a crooked heart finds no good: and he that has a perverse tongue falls into calamity.
21. He that begets a fool does it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool has no joy.
