16 Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, When he has no sense?
17 A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.
18 A man lacking in sense pledges And becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbor.
19 He who loves transgression loves strife; He who raises his door seeks destruction.
20 He who has a crooked mind finds no good, And he who is perverted in his language falls into evil.
21 He who sires a fool does so to his sorrow, And the father of a fool has no joy.
22 A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.
