Proverbs

¹³Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. ¹⁴The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before there be quarrelling. ¹⁵He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD. ¹⁶Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, seeing he hath no understanding? ¹⁷A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. ¹⁸A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his neighbour. ¹⁹He loveth transgression that loveth strife: he that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.
