PROVERBS 17:12-16

« Proverbs 16 | Proverbs 17 | Proverbs 18 »

12
Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs
rather than a fool in his folly.
13
If anyone returns evil for good,
evil will not depart from his house.
14
The beginning of strife is like letting out water,
so quit before the quarrel breaks out.
15
He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous
are both alike an abomination to the Lord.
16
Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdom
when he has no sense?
