16 Why should a fool have moneyto pay for wisdom? He has no mind.
17 Friends love all the time,and kinsfolk are born for times of trouble.
18 One with no sense shakes hands on a deal,securing a loan for a friend.
19 Those who love an offense love a quarrel;those who build a high doorway invite a collapse.
20 Those with crooked hearts won’t prosper,and those with twisted tongues will fall into trouble.
21 Having a fool for a son brings grief;there’s no joy for a scoundrel’s father.
22 A joyful heart helps healing,but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
