Proverbs 17:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 17:18

16 Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of wisdom,
Since he has no heart for it?

17 ^aA friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity.

18 ^aA man devoid of¹ understanding shakes hands in a pledge,
And becomes¹ surety for his friend.

19 He who loves transgression loves strife,
And ^ahe who exalts his gate seeks destruction.

20 He who has a¹ deceitful heart finds no good,
And he who has ^aa perverse tongue falls into evil.

21 He who begets a scoffer does so to his sorrow,
And the father of a fool has no joy.
