Proverbs 17:15-24
The Lord hates two things.
He hates it when the guilty are set free.
He also hates it when those who aren’t guilty are punished.
Why should a foolish person try to buy wisdom?
They are not even able to understand it.
A friend loves at all times.
They are there to help when trouble comes.
A person who has no sense agrees to pay what other people owe.
It isn’t wise to promise to pay other people’s bills.
The one who loves to argue loves to sin.
The one who builds a high gate is just asking to be destroyed.
If your heart is twisted, you won’t succeed.
If your tongue tells lies, you will get into trouble.
It is sad to have a foolish child.
The parents of a godless fool have no joy.
A cheerful heart makes you healthy.
But a broken spirit dries you up.
Anyone who does wrong accepts favors in secret.
Then they turn what is right into what is wrong.
Anyone who understands what is right keeps wisdom in view.
But the eyes of a foolish person look everywhere else.
