15 The Lord hates both of these things:freeing the guilty and punishing the innocent.
16 It won’t do a fool any good to try to buy wisdom,because he doesn’t have the ability to be wise.
17 A friend loves you all the time,and a brother helps in time of trouble.
18 It is not wise to promiseto pay what your neighbor owes.
19 Whoever loves to argue loves to sin.Whoever brags a lot is asking for trouble.
20 A person with an evil heart will find no success,and the person whose words are evil will get into trouble.
21 It is sad to have a foolish child;there is no joy in being the parent of a fool.
