Proverbs 17:16-28 - ESV - Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy...

16 Why should a fool have money in his hand ¹to buy wisdom when he has no sense?

17 ²A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

18 One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

19 Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who ³makes his door high seeks destruction.

20 ⁴A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity.

21 He who ⁵sires a fool gets himself sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy.

22 ⁶A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit ⁷dries up the bones.

23 The wicked accepts ⁸a bribe in secret^a to ⁹pervert the ways of justice.

24 ¹⁰The discerning sets his face toward wisdom, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

25 ¹¹A foolish son is a grief to his father ¹²and bitterness to ¹³her who bore him.

26 ¹⁴To impose a fine on a righteous man is not good, nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.

27 Whoever ¹⁵restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

28 Even a fool ¹⁶who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
