13 If anyone returns evil for good, evil will never depart from his house.
14 To start a conflict is to release a flood;stop the dispute before it breaks out.
15 Acquitting the guilty and condemning the just —both are detestable to the Lord.
16 Why does a fool have money in his handwith no intention of buying wisdom?
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.
