Proverbs 17:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 17:20

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.

22 A ^amerry heart does good, like medicine,
But a broken spirit dries the bones.
