Proverbs 17:14-16 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

14. The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before there be quarrelling.

15. He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.

16. Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, seeing he hath no understanding?
